Playoffs So Far

Mount Union breezed through the first three rounds virtually unchallenged. After shutting out Washington & Lee 21-0 in the first round, they blew out Case Western Reserve 45-16 and Frostburg 70-37 before their semifinal matchup with UW Oshkosh.

Last Saturday against the Titans proved much more interesting for UMU. The Purple Raiders overcame a 25 point deficit in the second half to beat Oshkosh 43-40 and advance to their 12th Stagg Bowl in the last 13 years.

Mary Hardin-Baylor's journey to the championship has been, if anything, easier. The Cru have only allowed 16 points total in their four 2017 playoff games, including shutouts of Linfield​ in the second round and Brockport in last weekend's semifinal. 

The closest anyone has gotten to unseating the defending champions was St. Thomas, who only lost by 14 (24-10) in the third round.

Last Meeting

This is a rematch of last year's semifinal, when UMHB beat UMU 14-12 to end the Purple Raider's string of 11 Stagg Bowl appearances in a row. Obviously, this was a close game throughout, but the best moment was probably when UMHB punter Baylor Mullins completed a 10 yard pass on 4th and 4 to seal the Cru win.
