DIII Wisconsin-Whitewater vs Mary Hardin-Baylor

Whitewater fed MHB their lunch in their October meeting, and it hasn't gotten any warmer since. Should be a rematch of the past 2 years in the D3 National Championship with Mount Union laying the screws to Whitewater again.

Yash -

I watched as much as I could of the game - had a lot of snow that I had to take care of.

The running back, Beaver, what a stud he was. The other running back from Mount Union was not too bad either, but today, Beaver was big.

Crazy game by Beaver. I can see why he won the Gagliardi Trophy. Did it bother anybody else how they kept pronouncing Gagliardi wrong? Or was I just hearing it wrong?

I go to UWW,and let me say that the game yesterday was the greatest game ever. Next to coming back and beating LaCrosse this year. Beaver is amn among boys. He is a stud, and unfortunately (fortunately for yash) he is graduating.
However we have plenty of young QB's waiting in thw wings to play like the freshman who subbed for him in Lacrosse.
Also Yash thanks for saying we were going to get killed that got around to the team that UWL thought was going to happen. Thanks for the motivation
GO HAWKS POUND THE ROCK.

Please don't compare the purest form of athletics with those cheaters in New England there records are as taintd as Barry Bonds.

mount union moved the ball but they could not seal the deal and get tds. UWW defense was really a bend but do not break. one thing they did do was hit the qb and MU admitted they did not like getting their qb hit much.

it seems to happen a lot but when a dominate team starts to get down and the potential to lose starts to creep in to the minds of the coaches and players it is like a meltdown happens. For MU it was the young coach who ran out on to the field and basically assaulted the ref verbally. maybe in the ohio conference that type of behavior is tolerated. however in the wiac, the officials would have toss him out of the game for that type of behavior. it was at the time i know you could stick a fork in MU cause they were well done.

i think what helped whitewater was senior leadership. 23 seniors were on the whitewater roster and they contributed.

i also think since they had faced them two times before they sort of were comfortable with them.

I also think whitewater has gone to playing a national nonconfrence schedule which helps. they are no longer playing small d3 state schools which are not in the wiac.

if you look at the ncaa stats the wiac had 3 of the top 6 individual rushers in the nation. a very physical league.
I personally think UW EC would have beaten bethel had they had their starting qb. bethel barely beat them. uw eau claire in one week took a wr and made him their qb, running the zone option attack. he was knocked out of the game and they went to the single wing with a rb being the qb.

there is also no way Mount Union would score 54 points week in and out in the wiac. just not going to happen. Mike emendorfer who had high flying passing attacks at hanover and some playoff success gets beat up big time in the wiac.

the uwec kid played with a concussion in the st. norberts game. when they found out he then left the game. that is why he could not play against bethel.
I watched the bethel game. had the blocked punt been recovered in the endzone it would have changed the game completely. the uwec defense dominated bethel until they like all defense who are on the field to long, got tired and bethel was able to score in the last 4 minutes of the game.
