GRR: College Men
The Big Rivers remains a somewhat muddled conference, especially in the West, after this weekend's results.
Western Washington opened their NCRC season with a bit of a statement result, shutting out Boise State 55-0.
Boise State is suffering from some injuries, but this was still a head-turning scoreline.
Former Canada U18 and WWU freshman George Pritchard scored two tries and added five conversions in his conference debut, making his tally 20 points on the day.
Navy continued their winning ways with a 40-11 defeat of Walsh University Saturday in Rugby East action.
As has been their script throughout the fall, Navy absorbed some pressure and battled through some difficult times before opening up the spigot in the final quarter. The game overall was much closer than the final score suggests.
Indiana at Ohio State remains a clash of the top teams in the Big 10, although Notre Dame, having beaten Ohio State last week, might have something to say about that.
Ultimately, it looks like this is a preview of the final, but Big 10 has surprised us all before.
While GRR's #1 Kentucky and #9 Virginia Tech are both idle this weekend, our #2 through #8 are all in action.
OK ... #4 Tennessee's game has been understandably canceled seeing as it was against Florida, and there's this hurricane ravaging the state so we won't be seeing any teams traveling much as the people dig out from the devastation.
