I think NCC will kick your butt... but what do I know..... 

Well NCC is a 9 point (Hansen) to 14 point (Massey) favorite.  So you may be on to something. I may need to re-watch the 2007 Stagg Bowl just to kindle some hope 

Meylor appears to be the starter at QB per the two-deep.

I attended the Platteville vs Hampden Sydney game.  Truly could have been a different outcome if HS hadn't have turned the ball over so many times in their own territory.  I hope the Platteville starting QB is okay.  Appeared to be a leg injury.  He was able to stand on crutches.  Here are some highlights from HS website.

We have to quit turning the ball over and giving opponents short fields.

The number and timing of offensive penalties on Saturday didn't help either.

Fred, if you're looking for an explanation of why UWW lost to IWU it's pretty simple. IWU played a better football game and they played it tougher.

I'm only one fan but in no way can I confidently say it was a fluke or that UWW will turn it around next weekend. This team has changed, the offense is nothing like it used to be so it's hard to know what to expect week to week. We have to have hope in the coaching staff that their plan will work and ten weeks from now we will be making playoff plans.

Make that two fans, emma.

I think we're seeing UWW transitioning from a powerhouse program to just a good team. Ever since Lance left this team (and took majority of the coaching staff with him), UWW has been slowly regressing over those three years. Embarrassed in the semi's in 2015. Embarrassed at home in the quarter finals in 2016. Now lost the first game of the year to an unranked team in 2017. That's not exactly a positive trend. I've been told UWW is still getting loads of talent each year, but it's not really reflected on the field like it once did (2005-2014). Losing Lance and his staff after 2014 is the difference maker.

I don't know what to make of the team this season....we'll see if they can bounce back. However, the schedule won't be getting any easier anytime soon for this coaching regime.

The opportunities were there.  Inside the five yard line twice and only came away with three points.  Driving in the fourth quarter then fumbling the snap.  I thought the offense was going to be the strength of this team.  The talent is there.  Hopefully they can put it together and eliminate the costly mistakes.

I live in Virginia now.  Hoping to catch the Platteville vs Hampden Sydney game in a couple of weeks.

Living in Virginia I have only been able to watch the Warhawks over the internet.  A couple of comments.  The defense has played well, giving up only 7 points to Oshkosh and Platteville.  I think the athletes are there in the passing game.  The QB needs to be more decisive and deliver the ball more quickly.  I get anxious when he starts scrambling and throws ill-advised passes.

Can Bachar just do all of the kicking please?

This Warhawk fan will be in Salem tonight supporting the Pointers!

Rod Carey new HC at Northern Illinois.

From 2000-06, Carey served on the coaching staff at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. His offensive units averaged nearly 400 yards per game during his seven seasons and set 14 records, including the all-time conference rushing record. He coached Blue Devils' offensive lineman Ben Knepper, one of the most decorated players ever at UW-Stout, to multiple All-American and all-conference honors. In all, Carey has coached 26 all-conference selections and seven All-Americans during his time at UW-Stout.

Yep. I'm going to the game!

Kudos to Mr. Brekke.  He played quite well yesterday. Made some really nice throws. Nice to see Zach Howard back on the field.  That is bound to be a big help to the receiving corps.  I remember a couple of years ago that we were talking about what a great receiver he would be before he got hurt.

As many things as are different about this year's version of the Warhawks, one thing is the same or maybe even stronger.  This defense flat out HITS people!

And I think Lou can be mentioned in the same breath as Kleppe and Griz    He's awesome.

I like what you said Emma.  At the very least it would be good to see Behrendt see more playing time even if he isn't the starter. Yeah, this team is like the 2008 team in many ways, yet the 2008 team had Jeff Donovan developing at QB.  We haven't seen that level of play out of the QB position yet on this year's team.

I watched the game on the stream (now living in Virginia).  It locked up a few times.  Maybe because I had streams from other games going on the computer at the same time.  Box score indicates crowd in excess of 11K.  Nice.

I will say that the Hawk defense looked very good against a River Falls offense that gave them plenty of opportunities to look good.  The RF offense gets the supporting actor Oscar    I will say that the Hawk offense looked anemic at times and had trouble generating any kind of sustained drive.  Yes, there were some poor passes but there were also several dropped balls.  It seemed when Behrendt came into the game that he brought a spark to the offense.  There seemed to be a different energy level.  Not that he did anything spectacular himself but the energy level of the offense seemed to go up a notch.

The offense needs a boost. If he can do it, then let's do it!
