GRR: University of Wisconsin
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.
After the Big Ten Championship game, someone called out to Ohio State Head Coach Tom Rooney—“Hey Tom, don’t you feel 25 pounds lighter with that monkey off your back?”
The University of Indiana rode a torrid second half to get past Ohio State and win the Big Ten Saturday at Fortress Obetz in Ohio.
The victory capped off a day of final games in the conference, with all eight teams in action.
Ohio State and Indiana played it pretty close in the first half, but as time went on, IU started to control the point of contact.
The Big Ten regular season is almost done, and we're just about confirmed how the Finals Weekend games will go.
Three weekends remain in the Big 10 Rugby Conference and the chase is well and truly on for the top two spots.
The teams finishing 1st and 2nd after November 2 will play-off in the conference final. The next two play for 3rd, and so on. So this weekend carries plenty of importance.
Here are the current standings:
