GRR: St. Mary's
In a bizarre and very entertaining game in Moraga, Saint Mary's came back from 31-12 down to beat UCLA 41-31 in a non-conference D1A showdown.
The nuts and bolts of the Saint Mary's win over BYU are pretty straightforward.
Tayson Hammer scored early for the Cougars, and converted before the Gaels replied with two tries and a 12-7 lead. With Saint Mary's No. 8 Kaipono Kayoshi in the sin bin BYU scrumhalf sniped over from short range and Hammer's conversion gave them a 14-12 lead.
D1A teams are getting active with 13 games involving at least one D1A team, and seven conference games.

The Gaels have beaten BYU twice, both close games, and also beaten Cal and Central Washington. For BYU, it was yet another close game the Cougars didn't quite win—they have been within reach of Cal, and twice with Saint Mary's, and tied Central Washington.
