GRR: Arkansas State
Arkansas State laid down something of a market this past Saturday, putting a pretty solid Davenport University to the sword 53-0.
It was the first game of the New Year for both teams, and a game that showed observers that the Red Wolves may be among one of the strongest college rugby teams this year.
In a matchup that two years ago would have been an exciting Mid-South Conference opener, Davenport will take on Arkansas State in Jonesboro, Ark.
For a final test for the fall, Arkansas State’s 45-7 victory has to be considered an A, as the Red Wolves defeated longtime rival Davenport.
ASU has been working in a group of new players, but also a new coach in the shape of former ASU All American Shaun Potgieter.
“I am growing into the job,” Potgieter told Goff Rugby Report. “And the guys are learning every day.”
Old Mid-South Rivals Arkansas State and Davenport meet for the final game of the two teams’ fall seasons, and it has the feel of something of a final exam for the semester, too.
Arkansas State University defeated Arkansas 78-0 Saturday in the annual rivalry game between the two teams, and the degree of victory really wasn’t a surprise.
While the Razorbacks have been playing very well in DIAA, Arkansas State, and their physicality and speed of play, are another thing entire.
