GRR: UC Davis
Saturday's DIAA Final is a clash of teams that are used to being underestimated.
UC Davis is back in the national DIAA final after beating Arkansas 32-15 Sunday in the national semifinal.
This was a hugely intense game with both sides hitting hard and fighting tooth and nail.
“Last year we were too beat up by the time the playoffs came,” said Arkansas Coach Warren Fyfe. “But this year, they knew they were in a game, for sure.”
Arkansas and UC Davis are through to the DIAA semifinals after both won their quarterfinals Saturday at the UC Davis campus.
Davis defeated Sacramento State for third time this season, taking the Hornets down 38-5.
And so we’re down to eight teams in DIAA, and it’s time to make some picks.
So UC Davis is back to defend the team’s national DIAA championship, and so far it’s all gone well.
Yes the team decided to change coaches, and their old coach, who won a national championship with the Aggies, ends up getting into the US Rugby Hall of Fame, but maybe what Mike Purcell created was such a good platform that the winning couldn’t help but continue.
