Florida State opened up their Florida D1AA season with an impressive 33-14 win over Central Florida.
On a windy day the breeze had a distinct effect on field possession for the teams, nd FSU handled it a little bit better.
"Typically UCF gets better through the season and they are a good team; we expect them to be improved later on," said FSU Head Coach Michael Gomez.
In a meeting of two highly-ranked D1A teams Saint Mary's defeated Arizona 48-15 in Moraga.
It was, thankfully, finally good weather in Northern California and set the scene for an intense match, and it was. Competitive, hard-hitting, and at times chippy, the game was a good reminder for both teams how tough it gets as the season progresses.
Western Washington built on its solid fall with a nicely-taken 29-22 victory over a Trinity Western XV Saturday.
Trinity Western is a Canadian national semifinalist, so this was a good showing for WWU.
Central Washington logged their second-straight victory over a highly-ranked Canadian college, beating this past fall's Canadian national champs University of British Columbia Saturday in Ellensburg.
We are diving headlong into the winter/spring college season this week.
