The University of Mount Union and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor have squared off just twice before, each time in Alliance, Ohio, with a trip to the Stagg Bowl on the line. In 2004, a young UMHB program played and won three NCAA playoff games on the road to get to the national semifinals and pulled off the upset of the No. 1 team with a late rally.
