FloridaCentral Florida beat Florida 38-26 to improve to 3-2. Scrumhalf Jaxson Patterson and wing James White each scored two tries for the Knights, while captain and inside center Jack Puchalski and his center partner William Boundy each added one.
Sam Houston State won the Lonestar Conference championship over the weekend, and did so in somewhat dominant fashion.

We take a close look at that weekend here: Bearkats, Sooners Lead Lonestar Playoff Field
The Lonestar D1AA Conference decides its champion this week with an eight-team playoff.
Unlike many conferences, that go through their playoffs either with a semifinal and final over a weekend, or split their playoffs over multiple weeks. Not the Lonestar—they have shortened quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday, and the final on Sunday.
With a week to go before Lonestar's final tournament, it gets a little quieter in Texas.
But in the California Conference we're full-on and Claremont Colleges vs Fresno State will be a very interesting clash.
South Florida vs Florida State is another big one to watch.
