GRR: Virginia Tech
Just as the NCR D1AA playoffs heat up the temperature chills out.
This coming weekend in Reading, Pa. is expected to be cold … very cold … but the four teams remaining in the playoffs will have to shake that off to make the final what everyone hopes will be a warmer final a week later in Houston.
Virginia Tech and St. Joseph's continues their solid run of form in the Mid-Atlantic Rugby D1AA Conference with wins this week.
Virginia Tech defeated West Chester 40-22, storming out to a huge lead in the first half and holding on even as the Rams came back.
Well we saw the NCR D1AA quarterfinals produce a few nailbiters, and it's likely we'll see more with the semifinals.
Your NCR D1AA last four are Louisville, Boston College, Kentucky, and two-time defending champions Virginia Tech.
The GRR DIAA rankings, which include teams not in NCR, list Kentucky at #1, VT at #2, and Louisville #4 after they erased losses to Bowling Green and Western Michigan by beating both in their conference playoffs. And BC are ranked #12.
Who has the best defense in Men’s D1AA rugby this fall?
Could it be MAC leaders Bowling Green, who are allowing a paltry 9.0 points per game? Well, what about the #2 team in that conference, Louisville? They are allowing 7.4 points per game.
Kansas isn’t quite at that level, allowed just over 10 per game.
