It's certainly possible that this will be a relatively mortal season for No. 1 Mount Union, and in the past two weeks, four voters in the D3football.com Top 25 have switched their No. 1 vote from the Purple Raiders to UW-Whitewater.

When we use the term "relatively mortal," we mean "might lose in the national semifinals."

Thankfully, we have a playoff, and don't decide the Division III football championship on paper. But the shift of No. 1 votes away from Mount Union is an unprecedented midseason move, at least without a loss to accompany them.

However, even though the momentum may be seeming to shift after Mount Union's 28-21 escape from Capital, Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan have a bit of a cautionary tale to relate to Division III football fans. The gurus have more in this week's Around the Nation podcast.

Each week during the regular season we look at some of the key statistical performances from the weekend in Division III football, highlighting one per region.

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy saw its third game decided in the final minute or later, as the Bears fell 37-34 to Fitchburg State in double overtime. It was the Bears' second double overtime loss, following a Week 2 defeat at archrival U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Coast Guard also defeated Westfield State 8-5 in Week 4, as Casey Paris caught a 14-yard touchdown pass with 32 seconds left.

Carthage rolled up 517 yards of total offense, but just nine of them were on the ground in a 45-38 win against Elmhurst. John Seigler had nine carries for 26 yards but the Red Men total was limited by three sacks for minus-27 yards and a bad snap that led to a play recorded as a team rush for minus-12 yards. For their part, Carthage quarterback Evan Jones was 34-for-48 for 475 yards and Chris Schulz was 1-for-2 for 33 in the win.

28, 21, 7, 5, 5, 2, 5, 0, 8, 7, 3, 19, 11, 16, 8, 3, 0, 2, 1, 11, 34, 12, 4, 15, 9, 8, 2, 20, 7, 47, 5, 4, 11, 3, -1, 13, 2, 7, 12, 5, 2, 0. Such was the afternoon of Levell Coppage, who had 41 carries for 382 yards and three touchdowns for UW-Whitewater.

At the time Chris Graves went out with an injury, Millsaps led Huntingdon 36-24 and trailed slightly in total offense, 334 yards to 297. After that, however, it was a different story. In the final 23 minutes, Huntingdon rolled up 212 yards of offense, and more importantly, 23 unanswered points, while Millsaps had just 60 in losing 47-36.
