GRR: BYU
Various sources tell Goff Rugby Report that the Brigham Young University administration has pulled its men's rugby team out of the Varsity Cup.
Cal came back from a 29-19 deficit with three converted tries in the final ten minutes to beat BYU 40-29 in the Varsity Cup final, shocking most rugby observers and the crowd at South Field in Provo, Utah.
Well with all the talk of playoffs and championships and the like, there’s the little matter of the game in Provo.
It will be BYU and Cal once again in the Varsity Cup final, but it almost wasn't.
BYU was once again formidable, with the Whippy brothers right in the middle of the action. Josh Whippy scored two early tries and Jared Whippy converted them and added a penalty which, along with tries from Zane Mendenhall and Josh Anderson, staked BYU to a 27-8 halftime lead over Arkansas State.
Could this be the year that it all gets shaken up?
You wonder. Here in the Varsity Cup, the same four teams had been in the semifinals for the last three years. That's changed this year as Arkansas State upended Navy to get to the top four. Now, could the run of three-straight BYU v Cal finals be stopped?
It could be.
