Warhawks in a walk
What showdown? No. 3 UW-Whitewater compiled just 247 yards of total offense but took it to No. 2 Mary Hardin-Baylor, intercepting Josh Welch three times en route to a 41-14 win. The Warhawks got just 77 yards on 29 carries from Justin Beaver but held Jarvis Thrasher to 67 yards on 20 carries in the victory. No. 1 Mount Union was held in check for a quarter, but surged to a 23-0 lead on No. 12 Capital at the end of the first half and won 37-0. It's the fourth consecutive shutout for the Purple Raiders, who have allowed three points in six games. Mount Union also clinched the OAC's automatic bid when John Carroll lost to Wilmington in overtime. Week 9 scores. How many laterals does it take to win a football game? There was a miracle in Mississippi as No. 19 Trinity (Texas) took the ball 60 yards with more than a dozen laterals on the final play of the game to win at No. 24 Millsaps, 28-24. Ron Boerger details the Miracle in Mississippi and you can watch the video.
