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.

Lindenwood remains #3 even after being beaten by 30 by Life.
Baylor University defeated the Texas Longhorns 48-20 Saturday to improve to 2-2 and move into 3rd in DIA's Red River Conference.
It was yet another impressive result for Baylor, which almost beat Oklahoma three weeks ago. This season has been a good one for the Bears, but it has also bee difficult.
