Mount Union hopes to do in 2008 what it couldn't do in 2007, shut down the UW-Whitewater offense.

In Stagg Bowl XXXV, the Warhawks had 410 yards of total offense and scored 31 points. And while most of the offense came in the form of seniors from last season, so did most of the Mount Union defense.

If the Purple Raiders want to get pressure against the UW-Whitewater offensive line, it needs to start up front, with defensive end James Herbert and the rest of the line. The story, in a Road to Salem feature by Matt Florjancic.
