Bethel will open Division III football playoffs at Whitewater; St. John’s left out of 32-team field

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:25 GMT

Sunday’s announcement for the 2023 NCAA Division III football playoffs field was not kind to the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.MIAC champion Bethel (8-2) drew as tough a first-round opponent as there is in Wisconsin-Whitewater (9-1), a perennial powerhouse program that won six national championships over an eight-year span from 2007 to 2014 and has reached the championship game nine times since 2005 — the last time in 2019.The Royals and Warhawks play at noon Saturday in Whitewater, Wis.Perhaps most disappointing for the MIAC was the exclusion of St. John’s (8-2) from the playoff field. A deciding factor might have been the Johnnies’ 56-28 loss at Whitewater on Sept. 9. Whitewater ended up claiming one of just five at-large bids into the 32-team field. St. John’s spent the bulk of the regular season ranked among the top Division III teams in the nation.Two other area teams made the field and will face off in the first round when Minnesota-Morr...

Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson has big day battling through rib injury: ‘That guy’s a fighter’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:25 GMT

Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson was slow, at times, to get up and even slipped into the blue medical tent at one point during the first half. It was clear that Hockenson, who was limited in practice throughout the week because of a rib injury, was in a world of pain.Which made Hockenson’s big day all the more impressive, as he helped lead the Vikings to a 27-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium.“That guy’s a fighter,” quarterback Josh Dobbs said.Hockenson was Dobbs’ favorite target Sunday. He caught 10 passes for 128 yards and scored a touchdown in the first half alone, and in doing so, he became only the second tight end since 1978 to have at least 10 catches, 100 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in a single half, per Elias Sports Bureau.“To be honest with you, I kind of blacked out,” Hockenson said. “It was just one of those things where you’re just playing, you’re focused on every play, the ball keeps coming to you, and I was k...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here is what came out of the 49ers’ postgame press conferences following their 34-3 win Sunday over the Jaguars:HEAD COACH KYLE SHANAHANNo injuries right now. I’m sure there will be some tomorrow, but there’s nothing right now.Q: What impressed you the most?Shanahan: Just how we overcame a bunch of stuff. I didn’t think we played perfect ball by any means, which you never do. I was just happy that the mistakes we did make, we always overcame. I was real disappointed getting those first two turnovers and not scoring on either of them, having to punt. Then when we get the third turnover, we actually score ourselves on defense but we have to call it back, and that was strategic so we could let the offense do it. Finally, we were able to do one, and being able to get that fourth one was cool. It was playing complementary football. Took us a while a little bit back and forth, but I thought once we were playing well on both sides, that...
