Utah is now 4-0 in the D1A West after beating Air Force 41-30 Saturday.
The game wasn’t quite as close as the score implies, as Air Force scored two late tries to close the gap.
Kutztown University can clinch the Rugby East Conference if the Bears score four tries against Penn State next week, or lose by seven points or less, or tie, or win.
Of course, KU wants to win, but even a competitive loss will do the job.
It’s all finalized in the Mid-American Conference as the playoff matchup are set.
In the North, Bowling Green hammered Ball State 74-7 to finish 3-1; the Falcons already had secured 2nd in the North behind Western Michigan, so that doesn’t change. Central Michigan doubled up Kent State to finished 2-2.
The University of Oklahoma defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 22-19 Saturday in a non-conference clash.
It was an important result for both teams. For Oklahoma, it was another step toward getting this team back in top form after a difficult 2014-15, and doing so against a tough opponent. For Kansas, it was yet another indication that the Jayhawks are here to play.
The WIIL Conference is down to four as the quarterfinals wrapped up Saturday.
Wisconsin-Whitewater, ranked #2 by Goff Rugby Report, won comfortably, as expected, over DePaul 46-5 to book a spot in the semis. In a much closer game, Northern Michigan, ranked #13, needed overtime to get by #29 Illinois State.
