FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[02 Warhawk]

Great win by whitewater...held that mighty UWP offense to just ONE offensive TD, very impressive.

We just need to get healthy. Looks like Huber was forced to play a little with Kumerow going out in the first series. Tough to see him in crutches on the sidelines. After watching the game at home, Kumerow was drilled in the hip, causing the fumble. I hope it's not serious. glad that Worth stepped up with Whitewater's top two receivers unable to go (at full speed).

WIWA? Not quite....The QB play seems to be two steps forward, one step back. MB accuracy concerns me.

As usual the defense is the best...I hope Wismer is ok. Josh Williams played one of his better games of his career, he was everywhere.

For the record, Oshkosh beats Platteville. UWP seems to struggle against tough defenses.

Just remember 02, like Absolute Truth, WIWA is not dependent on your opinion. It is a fact. It's just a matter of when you recognize it.

.....I have  to admit, I'm a big fan of that little flip-toss they do with Howard when he goes in motion. They had a lot a success with that in Oshkosh, and again today.

I was going to ask Whitewater fans who saw both games to make a prediction on that game...  +K!!!

I would give my vote to Oshkosh as well.

For some reason that I don't know, it's considered a passing play.

I'm with you 02, I love that play.  J Howard has a way of making that play work.  I saw some good blocks on that play today too, well done.

I also think UWO over UWP.  Although, what happened with Vlasek?  I didn't see him today.  He could make a difference vs. UWO.

A really well played game by UWW today, especially defensively.  The first half stats were crazy- UWW around 300 and UWP less than 100 I believe. 
UWW suffered a handful of injuries today, but guys stepped up.  We have several starters that need some healing time.  UWSP could be tough with the emotion difference and the injuries- this upcoming week will require some excellent coaching and I have total confidence in the staff to get it done.
Joe Worth is playing like a #1 receiver.  Steve Morris deserves credit as well.  He made some big catches and took a couple big hits.  He's open at times when MB is looking at others. 

02, I feel the same about MB's accuracy.  It's not as though he has bad stats, it's more the passes he misses though.  His deep ball continues to be inconsistent and he had some issues hitting in-routes.  That said, I love his toughness.  He's a gamer and will give you all he's got. 

Great job overall- two consecutive weeks beating top 10 teams- well done Warhawks.

According to tv announcer, vlasik suffered a shoulder injury last week and is likely out for the year.

The play is considered a pass because of the way UW-W executes it. Behrendt flips the ball forward to Worth.

I understand the concerns about MB, but I am coming to believe he is a great leader. His command of the huddle and in setting up the pre-snap formations is really evident in watching the tv broadcast. But yes,a little better accuracy would be nice.

I thought the play calling was excellent again today. The fake slant/fade TD to the corner by Worth was beautiful.

Hats off to the o-line. Good protection and gaping holes in run game.

I have a hard time believing there is a better defense in the country. Not sure anyone will have a comparable experience to help prepare for it.

This was a borderline domination of the 8th ranked team in the country. Less yards allowed and 4 more takeaways than our d had 2 years ago in 20 pt win. After falling behind 9-0 UW-W out scored UW P 35-7.

Priorities this week: heal up and ball security.

Great job overall- two consecutive weeks beating top 10 teams- well done Warhawks.

First, as far as MB accuracy, I think it had a lot to do with two thing; first revolving door of receivers- due to injuries, timing is important, second ball security.  I think he throws it only where the receiver or nobody can get it.  The exception is two different routes where I agree with Emma, he looks uncomfortable. 

Second, I pick UWO over UWP as well. 

Third, our defense is the best in the country, if you look at who we have played.

Last, WIWA, there I have said it.  While we need to heal up and not take any games lightly, this team could go deep in the playoffs.

I think the most impressive stat of the day was the defense only allowing 15 yds rushing.  Being able to shut a teams running game down that completely is amazing.  I thought our secondary stepped up and kept the pass game in check, even though they gave up a couple of big plays. The offense is having some issues, but the running game continues to pick up steam and the young offensive line is really beginning to open up some holes to provide some running room.  18 of the 26 first downs were from rushing. 
It was also great to see more than 12k people in the stands.  There was a great atmosphere from the parade to the end of the game. 
I think that Osh Kosh defense will also give them the edge in the game against Platteville.

If you have no rushung game, it's hard to beat Hamline. They threw 50 passes, had 15 yards rushing. How were they rated in the Top 40?

[badgerwarhawk]

retagent, it isn't a matter of their having no rushing game.  Before meeting our rush defense they were doing just fine at 167 yards/game.  Also it didn't help that they lost their leading rusher to injury last week.  With the exception of preseason and the first week teams generally aren't ranked on a single game.

FWIW, I like the Titans chances against them too.

It was fantastic to see the Perk packed to the gills yesterday.  Now we just could have got all those people who stayed in the parking lot to have entered the stadium we might have broke the record.  Some one told me that there was a disc jockey playing music in the parking lot.

With not being able to see the Packers crush the Bears until tomorrow night  it allowed my mind to go into weird thoughts.

What come of it was wondering if there would be any way to persuade UW-Superior to re-start their football program. They still have the stadium and through this year has been rented and used by the local High School football team. Of course it would require renovations more then likely but with the stadium already there I would imagine it would help keep costs down.

The main reason I ask is because it would increase the conference to 8 teams and require only two non-conference games. This in my mind would greatly help the WIAC schedule games (though this seems to be more a UWW problem then the rest of the conference). Would also help cut down on travel costs (though Superior is way up there it has to be cheaper then say going to Buffalo State and other long flights like Platteville to L&C). Also would help with the new regional rankings so that NAIA teams would be less likely to be needed.

I know it's probably wishful thinking but we can all dream, can't we?!?b
