Out of 15 semifinalists, we whittled it down to five on Thursday: three quarterbacks, a wide receiver and a running back.

Bethel’s David Geebli talks about recovering from fumbling on the first snap of the game. We bring back in former co-host Keith McMillan to break down the play, what he saw on video from his perspective as a former Division III football starting safety.

Mailbag questions came hard for this game. The one we chose to answer was whether this means that JCU is up to Mount Union’s level or if Mount Union has slipped and there’s just one elite team.

We turned that into a top 10, so check it out and enjoy!Full Story

When the previous “biggest win in school history” is from the 1950s, replacing the entry at the top of the list means something.

Sure, you could quibble over whether a win against Syracuse from seven decades ago, or a national quarterfinal win at Brockport in 2002, or a quarterfinal win at UW-Whitewater in 2016 should be next on the list, but no regular season win, even one against Mount Union, compares with beating Mount Union at Mount Union in the playoffs.

A win of this nature is so iconic that the head coach’s phone blows up, and so does the feed of everyone else even remotely associated with John Carroll football.

There’s those clips and much more in this podcast. Berry safety Chaz Pope talks about his game-sealing interception. We have postgame audio from all eight games and break them all down. The traffic on D3football.com nearly doubled in the course of 10 minutes. Keith also sits down with Johns Hopkins coach Dan Wodicka and safety Sam Bourdo.

The answer is perhaps no different than it was when Keith and Greg Thomas wrote a column under the headline “Today, we are all Mount Union” after the 2022 Stagg Bowl, for we are all chasing North Central.

We take your mailbag questions. It’s the 27th season in which we have named an All-America team.Full Story
