The last two weeks featured over 20 games involving D1A teams and an expansion to the East Coast, which will happen more and more.
We take a look at some of the top performers over the last couple of weeks. Here goes:
Rand Santos, CalSantos orchestrated an impressive showing in Cal's win over UCLA and scored a dynamic try as well.
Western Washington traveled to Grand Canyon over the weekend in a D1AA/D1A crossover match, and while GCU came away with the win, the Vikings have to feel relatively good about it all.
Led by an impressive game from Eli Ashmann, who scored four tries and set up a fifth, Western actually led fairly late in the game 34-31.
This week saw most teams in D1A put together results that were, in general, expected.
In one of the bigger games of the college calendar this month, Cal defeated UCLA 36-7 to tighten their grip on GRR’s #1 ranking.
Lindenwood defeated Mount St. Mary's in an entertaining and competitive D1A matchup in Knoxville, Tenn.
The Mount was very tenacious and tactically smart in keeping close to Lindenwood, and well into the second half it was deadlocked 24-24.
