Video of the Day No. 2: Warhawks beat Mount Union to claim 2007 national title

We are now less than five weeks away from UW-Whitewater opening up its 2013 training camp. As I indicated yesterday, to get the best fans in Division III fired up for the season I’m going to post one Warhawk football video per day both on the Warhawkfootball.com Newswire and on Voices Eye on Football blog.

Today’s (Monday’s) video is a look back at the Warhawks 31-21 win over Mount Union to secure U-Dub-Dub’s first national title win in school history. It was the third consecutive Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl match-up between the two “purple powerhouses.” Mount and UWW would go on to meet in the Stagg Bowl the next four years. Whitewater would win three of those four games.

The ’07 Stagg Bowl win was led by an opportunistic, hall-hawking defense and what was one of the great running back performances by Division III Player of the Year, Justin Beaver. The 2007 Gagliardi Award recipient rushed 31 time for 249 yards. D3 fans around the country still talk about Beaver’s final game as a Warhawk.
