FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[emma17]

So are the Whitewater fans pulling one way or the other in the Oshkosh vs Platteville game? Would have to think the loser is likely on thin ice when it comes to a Pool C bid, so who would Whitewater fans rather see lose and have their postseason hopes be put in jeopardy?

Oshkosh. But that's just me.

Good question. From the perspective of eliminating a team that worries me more in a playoff rematch, I'd have to say UWO. Not because I think UWO is better but they seem to have a mental edge vs UWW. I'd like to see UWP get a crack at the playoffs, although I think UWO is built to go further and therefor reperesent the conference better.
I have no personal favorite.

I predict a 27-7 Eagle win at Carson Park.

I'm really indifferent about the Oshkosh/Platteville matchup.  If I had to pick I'd probably go with Platteville but only because if we met them later in the playoffs they would be easier to make one dimensional than the Titans.   However I've picked Oshkosh in the pickem.

I would rather see platteville pull this one out. It's 15-6 Oshkosh but platteville looks like it could make something happen.

UWW 24-2 at the start of the 4th. Looking to burn clock in the second half.

Platteville lost a hard fought game to Oshkosh. Oshkosh's defense held Platteville to under 100 yards passing but that opened up the run  for Platteville Studer had over 120 yards and Kelly nearly had more  rushing yards (66) as he did passing (84).  Platteville  did not have an answer for  Linzenmeyer he seem to run at will through Platteville's defense.  Platteville has played both WW and Oshkosh close if they win out I still don't think they will put 3 WIAC teams in the playoffs.  On a side note  I wish Oshkosh would  plant some trees for a wind break on the south end of the stadium the wind was brisk through out the game.

Good day for the WIAC home teams.
Without Yaeggi, UW-L can't pull out a road win at Eau Claire.
UW-O wins showdown with Platteville. UW-P throws only 19 passes against 49 runs? Wow.
UW-RF moves to 3-0 at home by beating Stout. All three home victories have been by 20 points or more.
UW-W wins seventh straight. Another plus turnover margin (+3) performance and a 24-0 halftime lead carry the day.

Was he knocked out of game today, or did he miss game due to injury from last week against Whitewater?

UWP at UWO. I can check the Pickems to get a feel for how folks think the game will go, I'm curious how the UWP and UWO faithful feel?
Was UWO 63-28 better than UWP last year? 

Having watched both vs UWW I'd have to give the defense nod to UWO but not by much.
I'm a bit surprised that Kelly isn't more accurate w his throws, he really misfires at times. But in the end he produces as the receivers are tough. Will UWP get the ball to Arnold?

Will the sun rise in the east?

2 catches for 24 yards for Arnold.

Yaeggi was injured late in the WARHAWK game.

He was sacked and went down awkwardly on the second to last offensive play for the Eagles last week against UW-W. He stayed in and threw an incomplete pass on the next down (fourth down). I  heard reports after the game he had been inured and apparently BW heard the same.

"Voice Missed But Not Forgotten on Saturday"

I thought this tribute to "Voice" by Coach Bullis and the UW-W football program was very cool.

My understanding is that there is a preliminary plan to honor Voice with a visitation and Memorial Service on Sunday, October 30 at Nitardy Funeral Home in Whitewater. The preliminary plan is for the visitation to last from noon until 2:00 PM with the Memorial Service starting at 2:00.  I will post again with all the information when I know the plan is confirmed.

UWW has now been outgained in their last five consecutive games and yet won them all, that's got to be a really rare occurrence.

I'm sure it's rare. Fortunately, it also doesn't matter. Total yardage for a full game can be as irrelevant as time of possession. Saturday, when this game was decided (24-0 near the end of the second quarter), UW-W led Point in total yards 289-80. After that the context changed completely because the game wasn't in doubt. Plenty of coaching opportunity for sure. But the bottom line is UW-W dominated a team most people thought was pretty good until the issue was decided. If UW-W didn't drop so many passes, the halftime score of this game might have been very ugly.

I was out of town for the game, but was stunned when I saw that halftime score. I figured this was going to be a close one, even closer than the La Crosse game. Never did I imagine the defense not giving up a point against UWSP. Very impressive.

Looks like it was a great first half for the Hawks, with the coaching staff taking their foot off the gas a bit in the second half(?).
