GRR: University of Utah
The University of Utah beat Utah State over the weekend, and given that USU had already beaten Air Force, it’s perhaps time to take a closer look at whether the Utes are making a comeback.
Captain Logan Hawes said the 38-29 win was the result of a number of factors.
UCLA capped off the PAC Rugby Conference schedule with a 56-19 win over Utah in Salt Lake City.
This was UCLA's first victory in the conference (all teams play just the three games) after a tough home loss to Arizona 32-27 a week before.
A really competitive conference, a team on tour, and some pre-conference warmups characterize this weekend in Men's D1A and D1AA rugby.
Cal, Cal Poly, UCLA, and Utah all went 2-0 in the Storer Classic Saturday at the UCLA campus.
Rain of course affected play during the day but the games had been moved to turf fields that allowed the tournament to proceed.
The University of Utah has added two former Eagles and Utes alumni to their coaching staff as the program looks to climb back to the level it enjoyed 10 to 15 years ago.
