GRR: College Men
Ben Burmester was at the center of Air Force's impressive 66-26 win over Utah this past Saturday, leading the Zoomies to a win in the opening weekend of their schedule.
One of the more intriguing results of the past weekend in DI rugby was in the Mid-American Conference, with Louisville defeating Miami 43-7.
Miami of Ohio has long been one of the stronger teams in the conference, and Louisville one of those teams chasing them, but this past weekend, Louisville seemed much the stronger of the two.
Mickey Bateman was the MVP of the 2015 USA Rugby College 7s National Championships, and around that same time, Sam Chapman was suiting up for his high school team, the Kansas City Junior Blues.
Amateurism is under intense scrutiny this college rugby season for a number of reasons.
Norwich University scrumhalf Tom St. Pierre was the sparkplug this past weekend as the Cadets defeated Middlebury 30-14.
St. Pierre scored a two tries to go with the try he scored against Rhode Island the week before, with that pair against Middlebury helping stake his team to a 15-0 first-half lead.
