GRR: College Men
The spring college 7s season still has plenty to go before it culminates with the USA 7s National Championships and then the CRC, but it is underway.
Arkansas State University defeated LSU 27-17 in a non-conference match that perhaps says more good things about LSU than the Red Wolves.
For Arkansas State, it was another warmup game as they look to the start of the Mid-South conference season. Playing against the wind in the first half, ASU kept running into penalty problems around the breakdown.
Lindenwood University (St. Charles, Mo.) rebounded from a somewhat humbling loss to Central Washington University a week ago with two victories on a trip to Colorado.
The Lions defeated the University of Colorado 84-0 on Thursday, and the United States Air Force Academy 53-7 on Saturday.
(Thanks to Colleen McCloskey for the photos - Navy in solid blue, Penn State in stripes) - Penn State and Navy met up Saturday in what was essentially the teams' kickoff to their Varsity Cup buildup.
Santa Clara defeated UCSB 53-21 Saturday to move to 1-1 in the California Conference.
While San Diego State beat Sacramento State 62-12 to move to 1-0 (SD State Rambles Past Sac State), Santa Clara put themselves in excellent position to challenge for a playoff spot out of the conference.
