St. Edward’s sophomore and number eight James Williams carries the ball before being tackled by Baylor players. “Number eights” are a position which plays with the “forwards” on the team, and they largely stay at the back of the scrum – they are often expected to break through the other team’s defense and move the ball forward.

Throughout the game, the Texas State and St. Edward’s teams engaged in scrums. Scrums are the main method for the game to be initiated, where eight players from each team bind together to gain possession of the ball. At the center stands the scrum halves who place the ball in the middle of the scrum then move to the back of each side. If they receive the ball, they then pass it to their other teammates. Pictured center of the scrum is St. Edward’s player Louis Werling substituting for William Perrins.
