GRR: College Men
The way seems pretty clear for Middle Tennessee State and Central Florida to win their respective divisions in the South Independent Rugby Conference after both teams won big this weekend.
Rugby is a team game, but the presence or absence of one player can have an impact.
Nine University of California players scored a total of 13 tries as the Golden Bears soundly defeated #12 Utah 82-5 in front of a big Homecoming crowd Saturday afternoon on Witter Rugby Field.
BYU enjoyed a torrid opening to the second half of their clash with St. Mary’s and came away with a 32-28 victory between the two high-ranked college programs Saturday in Moraga, Calif.
Neither team backed away and it was a classic clash between the two - BYU using their size superiority to punish St. Mary’s tacklers, and the Gaels exploding for unexpected attacking moves.
Life University escaped an intense battle with Davenport University Saturday, kicking a penalty goal with no time left to win the opening match in the Mid-South Conference 28-25.
