GRR: College Men
Week #3 of the Florida College season sees everyone enter competition with only one … one team at 2-0.
South Florida is the only team to not have lost a game and USF will host North Florida this weekend in a quest to go 3-0.
Sure they won by a lone point over Florida Atlantic, but they still won.
Saint Mary's won the second game of their tour, defeating Oxford University 16-12.
The tour covers a week and includes Cambridge University, Oxford, and Trinity College of Dublin. Cambridge edged Saint Mary's 24-17 on Sunday. The Gaels, whose 2nds won comfortably 47-0, play Trinity on Saturday in Ireland.
Loose forwards are next in our list for the top DIAA players of the fall.
Whether they are openside flankers, blindside flankers, or No. 8s, we lump them all together, often because many of these players suit up in all of those positions.
We have 43 players in this list.
Life University's joining of the Rugby East this coming fall is the latest move in an interlocking sequence of gears within the college game.
Now we're at halfback with scrumhalf and flyhalf.
This is an important category—OK all of them are important—in that in the USA we're still working on getting US-raised flyhalves and scrumhalves. Maybe three or four of these will be in that pathway.
We have 14 #9s and 18 #10s in this list.
