BYU swept their two-game trip to Colorado and are in a commanding position in the Rocky Mountain D1A Conference.
The Cougars defeated Colorado 41-5 on Thursday night and Colorado State 86-9 on Friday.

Getting to Central Washington's campus is difficult enough, but it turns out leaving can be even tougher.

Cal scored a try at the end of the game to haul in Brigham Young University and turn a 21-17 deficit into a 24-21 victory Saturday in Berkeley.
It was a back-and-forth affair at Witter Rugby Field, and Cal needed every minute to get past the Cougars.
