The 11th ranked Wartburg football team hosts 21st ranked Bethel of Minnesota on Saturday in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division III football playoffs on Saturday. The Knights opened the playoffs last week with a victory over Wisconsin-Platteville.

That’s Wartburg coach Chris Winter. The Knight’s defense will take on a balanced Bethel offense that is averaging more than 48 points and 464 yards per game.

The Wartburg defense created three turnovers a week ago and has 26 on the season. Winter says that will be a key against Bethel.

Winter on what could be a key to the outcome.
