Stagg Bowl: Mt. Union vs. Wisc-Whitewater

Mount Union football Head Coach Larry Kehres said Monday morning that quarterback Kurt Rocco?s status for Saturday?s Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl game against Wisconsin-Whitewater remains unknown.

Rocco, ranked first in NCAA Division III in passing efficiency, suffered a helmet-to-helmet blow in the first quarter of Saturday?s national semifinal against Wesley. He left the game and did not return.

Preview

The question about starting Mount Union QB playing today is answered in this preview from Canton Repository.

Some football fans might object to watching this rerun for the fifth straight time. But purists should love seeing Division III?s two best programs go at it again after the close Stagg Bowl games they have had since 2005. This might be the most evenly matched one of the lot. Mount?s Larry Kehres has won 289 games with a .928 winning percentage and 10 national championships. Whitewater?s Lance Leipold?s winning percentage is .932, and he has his team in Salem all three of his seasons, including one title. QBs Kurt Rocco of Mount Union and the Warhawks? Jeff Donovan both complete better than 70 percent of their passes and have thrown for more than 3,300 yards.
