The Warhawks are an automatic qualifier out of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, while the Tigers are the automatic qualifier out of the North Coast Athletic Conference.

UW-W held the Panthers to 72 rushing yards, more than 175 yards below their season average, and forced five turnovers in the contest. Offensively, UW-Whitewater racked up 482 yards of offense, including 316 through the air.

The team was ranked second in the Lindy's Sports Preseason Division III Top 25 and fourth in the preseason by College Football America.

DePauw took a 20-7 halftime lead and withstood a late comeback attempt last Saturday for a 26-21 victory against Rose-Hulman (Ind.) in the first round of the NCAA Playoffs in Greencastle, Ind. The Tigers posted five interceptions in the game to overcome the Engineers' 355 passing yards and made a goal-line stand near the end of the third quarter to help preserve the win.
