All purple, all over again That will be the look in Salem once again as the Purple Raiders of Mount Union advance to their 11th Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl and UW-Whitewater joins them for the third year in a row. Mount Union routed Bethel 62-14 in the Division III football national semifinals, while UW-Whitewater survived Mary Hardin-Baylor 16-7. UW-Whitewater held a 13-7 lead for most of the second half, before adding a 34-yard field goal with 2:31 left, finishing a drive fueled by a long run by quarterback Danny Jones. He finished with 87 yards rushing. Justin Beaver was held to 60 yards on 28 carries. Photo gallery. Bethel fumbled inside its own 20 and skied a bad snap over the head of its punter to lead to two easy Mount Union scores. The Purple Raiders rolled up a 41-0 lead on the Royals at the half and ran away to the victory. Scoreboard. "I certainly don't think we got Bethel's best performance today," said Mount Union quarterback Greg Micheli. "We did a good job of keeping the pressure on offensively and defensively." Team USA won the Aztec Bowl, defeating Mexico 37-19, with Dubuque quarterback Jemar Jackson winning the USA's game MVP award. The 2007 D3football.com All-Region teams were announced on Friday. All-Americans will be announced in Salem on the Stagg Bowl pregame show.
