	Mount Union 31 Whitewater 26 by Ric Brienza
Purple Raiders defeat Warhawks for third time in four years to win 10th national championship Mount Union jumped out to a 14-0 early lead on two long Greg Micheli to Cecil Shorts touchdowns and went on to defeat Wisconsin-Whitewater 31-26 in the 36th Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl Saturday at Salem Stadium in Salem, Virginia. The win avenged a loss to Whitewater in last year's title game and marked the third time in the last four seasons the Purple Raiders defeated the Warhawks to win the NCAA Division III national championship. Micheli was named the game's Most Outstanding Player after throwing for 262 yards and rushing for another 56. His first touchdown strike to Shorts came on the game's fourth play from 55 yards and marked the first time in the four championship games against Whitewater that the Raiders scored first. The Purple & White doubled the lead the next time it had the ball when Micheli hit Shorts for a 41-yard touchdown. The Warhawks did not want to let Nate Kmic beat them, moving the linebackers up in run support, but less than six minutes into the game they were burnt twice by long passes and trailed by two touchdowns. Whitewater did do a good job containing Kmic, holding him to 88 yards on 22 carries, a 4.0 yards per carry average. The senior running back needed just 14 yards to become the first player in college football history to run for 8,000 yards and hit that mark in the first quarter, finishing his career with 8,074 yards. Following a one-yard touchdown run by Antwan Anderson, Kmic scored from two-yards out, giving the Raiders a 21-7 lead at the end of the first period. Little did anyone know at the time that the offensive explosion was over and only three more touchdowns would be scored the rest of the game. After the first stanza, Mount Union had 243 yards of total offense to Whitewater's 83. It was the most dominant quarter played between the two schools in the four championship games, and ultimately, was too much for the Warhawks to overcome. The teams traded second quarter field goals as Jeff Schebler kicked a 21-yarder early in the period for Whitewater before Ryan Wilk matched it with a 29-yard effort late in the quarter. The Purple & White led 24-10 at the break in what had suddenly become a defensive struggle. The Warhawks managed 89 yards of offense in the second stanza while the Raiders tallied 65. The only scoring in the third quarter was a 31-yard Schebler field goal narrowing Mount Union's lead to 24-13. The biggest play of the quarter came at the Whitewater goal line when Micheli was hit by Wesley Hicks after scrambling for two yards on second and goal from the three, forcing a fumble that was recovered in the end zone by Zach Christopherson. The fumble ended an 11-play, 77-yard drive that would have given the Purple & White a 31-10 lead. There was a similar play in last year's championship game when Justin Beaver fumbled into the end zone early in the second half. But on that play, Whitewater recovered in the end zone for a touchdown and a 17-0 advantage before the Raiders rallied to make it 17-14, but couldn't get all the way back to to tie the score. The biggest play of this game came with 12 minutes remaining and was made by Mount Union's defense. The Warhawks had moved 25 yards to the Raiders' 27. Trailing by 11 and facing a third and nine, Jeff Donovan attempted a pass that went off the hands of Aaron Rusch and right into the waiting arms of Drew McClain, who returned it 78 yards for a touchdown, giving the Purple & White it's largest lead of the game at 31-13. Whitewater would then move the ball 61 yards in 12 plays to make it 31-20 on a two-yard Anderson run. The problem with this drive was it took over five minutes. Seven of the plays were rushes. Mount Union sat back and allowed this, not wanting to give up a big pass play. The Warhawks simply were not going to have enough time to score three times by keeping the ball on the ground. Ultimately this plan proved correct as Whitewater scored again, but with only 1:12 left, when Donovan went in from a yard out. The two-point conversion attempt failed, leaving the Warhawks needing another touchdown. But their onside kick attempt was recovered by Chad Reynolds and Mount Union ran out the clock on a 10th national title in 12 championship game appearances. Of the 16 Stagg Bowls played in Salem, Virginia since 1993, Mount Union has participated in all but four of them. Shorts had seven receptions for a game high 178 yards. Defensively, Chaz Jordan led the Raiders with 11 tackles, while Sam Kershaw added nine. James Herbert and Kershaw each recorded quarterback sacks. It was a small group of seniors that played their last game for Mount Union, with only eight seniors starting, five on offense and three on defense. But it was a class that won four Ohio Athletic Conference titles, had four Stagg Bowl appearances, won three national championships, and posted an overall four-year record of 58-2. Over that four-year period, no Division III football team was better.
