GRR: Colorado State
Colorado, BYU, and Colorado State are all 2-0 now in the Rocky Mountain DIA conference.
Colorado State defeated Air Force 52-31 in an entertaining game. The Rams opened up an adventurous style of play and Sam Masterson's kicking from the hand and the tee were exceptional.
The University of Colorado pulled off a remarkable result over the weekend, defeating a good Colorado State team 36-5.
The teams went into the game somewhat even and Goff Rugby Report had CSU winning, but the Buffs built on a recent 20-0 shutout of Air Force and held the Rams to just the one try.
It's a bit of a rivalry weekend in DIA and DIAA college rugby with several schools that have a bit of a history going at it; one of those rivalries will be revisited in the Rocky Mountains as Colorado takes on Colorado State.
BYU just throttled Utah State by the credulity-straining score of 167-0 Saturday to improve to 4-0 in the Rocky Mountain Conference.
In a result no one wants to see, the Cougars got three tries from scrumhalf Dylan Parry and 30 points from fullback Connor Parry with ten conversions and two tries.
The Rocky Mountain Conference kind of comes down to BYU at Colorado State.
We talked to Ben Pinkelman, Eagle 7s and 15s impresario who trained with his old team (CSU) in the summer.
