Losses in the last four weeks to North Coast Athletic Conference rivals Wabash and Allegheny have put the regular season championship and a berth in the NCAA Division III playoffs all but out of reach for the first time in six years. But that doesn't mean the Tigers have nothing to play for.

That's the scenario for a Wittenberg football team that must win the rest of its games to have an opportunity to advance to the NCAA Division III Playoffs for a sixth straight season. Heading into this weekend's game at league-leading Allegheny, the Tigers have won back-to-back games by shutout over Hiram (66-0) and Ohio Wesleyan (63-0) since falling from the ranks of the unbeaten at Wabash on Oct. 11.

It has usually been grind-it-out football behind mammoth offensive lines, passing only to keep the chains moving and winning primarily with defense and ball control.
