The fifth week of CPD play began and ended with commanding victories by BYU and Cal. Despite their lopsided victories, these two teams were unable to overshadow play by the rest of the Premier Division, which saw a total of nine hat tricks this weekend!
In the East Division, Army and Navy remained undefeated and atop the standings with solid victories, thus setting the stage for their showdown in the final week of play.
In the “Barnburner” Arkansas State defeated Life University 28-26. The ASU Red Wolves jumped out to an early 25-5 lead and were able to withstand a furious Life comeback in the second half to escape with a critical win in Mid-South play.
