GRR: Ohio State University
CRAA’s new Challenger Cup playoff in Men’s D1A action had a pretty successful first weekend with two very competitive games.
The new plan from CRAA to have the Challenger Cup is kicking off this weekend.
Four teams will play in the quarterfinals with two teams, Mary Washington and Grand Canyon, getting a bye to the semifinals on April 19.
The final will be played May 3 as part of the CRAA's championship weekend in Indianapolis.
St. Thomas, Arkansas State, and Mount St. Mary's came out winners on Day Two of the CRAA Fall Classic Sunday in Spartnaburg, SC, but every one of those games required the winning team to overcome a deficit.
Three conference games and two non-conference games have us at GRR World Headquarters looking at the Big 10.
Non-conference games include Ohio State vs Tennessee and Illinois vs McKendree
The Big 10 did actually get to start its season in its expected form last week and this week we have four games on the slate.
A week after beating Illinois, Ohio State put in a very good result over Michigan State.
The Buckeyes were led by wing Jayden Garnes, who scored two tries and set up another in a nice example of OSU playing some open-field rugby.
