Stagg Bowl: Mount Union +10.5 vs UW-Whitewater (ov/un 44.5) Fri 7 ET, ESPN2

[BB73]

7th straight year they face each other in the D-III Championship Game.

They have each won 3 times in the last 6 years, but UW-Whitewater had won the last 2 titles during their current 44-game winning streak.

 

[Jake]

A 3-0 shoot out at halftime, just like we all expected.

Frankly, Mount is fortunate to only be down 3 as their defense bent a lot and their offense did next to nothing.

 

[Jake]

Mount's defense continues to keep them in the game, stopping WW multiple times in good field position. Offensively, the Raiders are really struggling. MU has used 2 QBs this season and I would strongly consider pulling the starter.

Still, 3-0.

Time to switch quarterbacks Kehres...

 

[Jake]

WTF?!

Will they please pull Piloto now? Good grief, he is killing them. Two INTs on throws he just heaved up under pressure in WW territory (the only 2 times they've been there) and now he fumbles it away on their own 1 yard line trying to do something while being sacked. The give away TD makes it 10-0.

There is no way MU comes back with him at QB. He's pissing down his leg, big time. Get him out of there. Now.

 

[Jake]

Funny to hear the announcer say "Louey ville" Ohio when anyone who lives around here knows it is "Louis ville" in these parts.

MU finally makes the QB switch.

Damn, his knee is definitely not 100%, and he limps off the field.

Fuck, MU played with their back up QB in last year's title game, too.

 

[bkochmc]

Looks like Kehres heard both of us.

 

[Jake]

Damn, MU finally puts together a drive but gets stuffed on 3rd and goal from the 1 yard line. FG, 10-3, early 4th quarter.

thanks for the Louisville shout out!
Seamon's knee at 10% seems to be a better option than Piloto at 100.

 

[Saw31]

Can not give up points here. Got to make a play...

 

[Saw31]

Miss it miss it miss it...

 

[Saw31]

So I'm gonna squirt cologne on myself from a bottle shaped liked a man with a bigger bulge than my own? WTF kind of marketing is that?

 

[Jake]

Unfortunately, 13 points is probably enough for Whitewater. Their TD "drive" covered one yard thanks to a stupid fumble.

MU is a notch below them now. Still very good, but second best.

 

[Saw31]

TD. Got a chance. 3 timeouts. Play some defense.

 

[Jake]

Well, Mount gets a TD with just over 3 minutes left to make it 13-10. I hope they can prove me wrong and win this thing.
