GRR: Red River
Texas A&M may be leading the Red River, and Baylor may be close behind (Baylor to 4-0 with Win Over Texas State), but eyes are also on LSU, especially since the Tigers will face the Aggies this weekend.
Baylor continued its run of strong results this past weekend with a 29-20 defeat of Texas State.
The win makes Baylor 4-0, and the Bears have some momentum as they go into a key Red River contest with Oklahoma this coming weekend.
Lindenwood-Belleville pulled off an impressive result Saturday, defeating Red River Conference team Arkansas 50-27 in Kansas City.
Ben Martin got the Lynx going with two early tries, and then Kyle Hopcraft fielded his own high ball to go in under the posts for a 19-6 lead.
While Lindenwood-Belleville seemed to have the run of play, they continually got into penalty trouble.
As usual, the world of DI college rugby in the southern part of the middle United States is a tough prospect.
Teams have to travel far to find competition that is right for them, and those opportunities are precious.
Questions remain about the Red River DIA Conference and the Southwestern Conference in DIA, as teams are moving back and forth and we've seen no final confirmation of a schedule, or even what teams are where.
What does seem to be evident right now is that some team shifting means that two programs - North Texas and Texas State - are essentially teams without a conference.
