#2 Mount Union vs. #13 Alma Highlights | D3 College Football 2023
NCAA D3 Football Playoffs 2023
In a thrilling matchup in the 2023 NCAA Division III Football Championship Second Round, #13 Alma took down #2 and presumably top-seeded Mount Union. Despite holding a 10-0 lead at halftime, Mount Union couldn't secure the win, Alma was able to hang around the entire game, and Alma quarterback Carter St. John concluded a game-winning touchdown drive with a Cole Thomas touchdown pass with just 10 seconds remaining.

One of the biggest upsets in D3 Football Playoff History.

[@jackprecip5389]

It was a big upset, but I don't know about its historical standing. Alma has a real good team and Mount Union was only a 17 point favorite in this game, even at home. Now granted a 17 point favorite is pretty large, but Mount Union is usually a 40+ pt. favorite in their second round games. That means while MU were expected to win, Alma was still given a reasonable chance by the market makers. The Purple Raiders looked a little shaky for a while playing cupcake Alfred State last week, and I think some of the next tier teams are starting to creep up a little on the top tier dominators, although North Central looks like they're in another atmosphere right now.

My nephew plays for Alma, and my whole family was nervous during this game.

But mount union has 13 national titles so it don't matter lol

Congrats to Alma. They blew up the Death Star. As a Baldwin Wallace student/announcer, I couldn’t be any happier with the outcome. Best of luck to the Scots

Alma College Scots…great win! Let’s go all the way

[@GreenBayPayton]

We need more upsets like this in D3

[@brobiak9548]

It doesnt happen that often because the skill gap is incredibly large between the top schools and the rest at the D3 level. The best schools basically recruit and hoard a very large number of athletes, the majority of which will never play a significant down at a place like Mount Union, and its no skin off their back because its not like they have to waste a scholarship on them or anything. There are many many D3 schools that are basically a high school skill level team. Recruiting and building up a program at the D3 level is very very difficult because the big schools can offer tons of kids without having to worry of scholarships and then they hold those kids there so no one else can have them.

Anytime whitewater, mount union or MHB lose, it's a great thing for D3!!

Terrible defense by MU.

They had great defense 95% of the game. It’s just that Alma is the kind of team that can really bite into that 5%
