Top 25 has a perfect Saturday
Russell Gliadon nailed a 49-yard field goal with less than three seconds left as No. 6 St. John's rallied from a 14-0 fourth-quarter deficit to beat Bethel 16-14. Photo gallery. The win preserved a day in which not one team ranked in the D3football.com Top 25 lost.

Logan Flannery caught a 2-yard touchdown pass to put the Royals up 14-0 at the start of the fourth quarter. The Johnnies answered with a touchdown, a stop and another score but Gliadon missed the extra point to tie. The Royals went three-and-out on the ensuing drive, giving Gliadon a shot at redemption. His field goal was the longest in school history and snapped a three-game win streak for the Royals in the series. Check out Saturday's finals on the scoreboard including box scores and game recaps.

D3football was on hand for homecoming in Alliance, Ohio where No. 1 Mount Union celebrated by shutting out Baldwin-Wallace, 30-0. After being held in check for the first 25 minutes, Cecil Shorts got a step on his defender en route to a 53-yard catch down the sidelines, then took a snap and ran a draw play for a 7-yard touchdow run in the second quarter. No. 2 UW-Whitewater opened conference play with a similar result, beating UW-Platteville 35-3 behind four Levell Coppage touchdowns. No. 16 Ohio Northern ended its two-game losing streak, but only after a scare from Muskingum. The Muskies were intercepted deep in Polar Bear territory late in the fourth quarter, sealing ONU's 37-34 win.

No. 3 Mary Hardin-Baylor rushed for 327 yards with Quincy Daniels getting 145 of them in a 23-7 win over struggling Hardin-Simmons. The Crusaders have won 32 consecutive conference games. No. 12 Wabash won its 20th consecutive North Coast Athletic Conference game, shutting down Allegheny in a 37-3 win as Wes Chamblee caught nine passes for 153 yards and returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown. It was the program's 600th win. "I told our guys they're in good company," coach Erik Raeburn said. "If you have 600 wins as a football program, that's a lot of good football players for a long time. I think our guys are proud to be part of the 600th win and be part of a program with that kind of tradition."

No. 18 Willamette opened NWC play with a comfortable 42-13 win over Whitworth. No. 17 UW-La Crosse got its WIAC play started with a W over UW-Oshkosh, 32-25.

No. 20 Ithaca improved to 2-0 in the Empire 8 winning at Hartwick, 24-20. The Bombers and Hawks combined for 743 passing yards. Scroll down for more Saturday coverage.
