D3 Football

Division Three football is very versatile. In the past five years Mount Union College has won four national championships. Other than that, nothing in D3 football is set in stone. From one season to another it is a guessing game as to who is going to win any conference. Another great thing about D3 football is they use the playoff system, whereas D1 football uses the Bowl Championship Series. In my opinion this is the only true way to figure out who is the champion.

The Who, the What, the Where, and the When!

Expectations for the 09' Season
Who: The Mount is renowned for our strong run stopping defense, so we will be looking for a big contribution from Alex Harbin, and the rest of the Mount's D-line to contain the run. As far as the offense is concerned, with us returning four of last year's starting O-linemen we will be looking to pound the rock!
What: With our disappointing season last fall, the Mount's record of three straight conference championships was put at a standstill. So we are trying to redeem ourselves as far as that goes.
Where: Scholar Field will be where all the action packed home games will be played this 2009 season.
When: The 2009 season.

Latest Changes

This past season was a real "eye opener", it made us realize how physically weak we were on both offense and defense. The whole team made a commitment together to get bigger, faster, and stronger. To help us in our pursuit of becoming bigger, faster, stronger we had added two more lifting platforms in the weight-room. With this latest addition to our weight room we now have 5 platforms, and will no doubt help us get stronger.

Off Season Changes

Once the final whistle had blown against our rival school (Thomas More), we all knew changes needed to be made in some shape or form. Thus far in the off season, there have been reports straight from the coaches saying we have over 500 recruits expressing interest in the Mount. Hearing this was a relief to us players, because after having a 5-5 season we all assumed that no one would want to come here. This past Friday was our first team work-out, it was very promising. It was one more step in the right direction.
