UW-Whitewater and UW-La Crosse Preview 11/9/2011 Today's Game UW-W closes the 2011 regular season with the annual Senior Day and Shrine Game. Seniors and the Shrine honoree will be introduced at the game. Last Year Wait a minute, didn't we see the Eagles before? With the new WIAC schedule in place, playing a conference opponent twice with one of the two games counting as the league tilt, the Warhawks and Eagles met at Harring Veterans Memorial Stadium in the first game of this season. This week's contest is the one that counts in the league standings. As both coaches would point out, there has been a lot of water under the bridge since that meeting. Whitewater won the opener, 26-7. The Warhawks' opening drive resulted in an Eric Kindler (Germantown/Germantown) 36-yard field goal, and Levell Coppage (Oak Park, IL/Oak Park)'s one yard run on the second possession made it 10-0. Late in the second quarter, facing a third and eight at their 18, Louissaint Minett picked off a Mike Butterfield pass. Kindler converted from 33 yards to make it 13-0 with 2:07 in the half. UW-W's defense forced a three and out, and the resulting field position allowed Kindler to make it 16-0 with a 41-yarder with 18 seconds left. Whitewater held La Crosse to two first 126

downs and 63 yards of offense in the half. UW-W took the second half kickoff 65 yards in 15 plays, covering 7:45, with Kindler kicking his school record tying fourth FG of the day, this time from 36 yards, to put UW-W up 19-0. Desmin Ward (Milwaukee/Hamilton) punched in a fourth quarter TD for the Warhawks, 26-0, and Butterfield ran it in from seven yards out for the Eagles' score in the fourth. The Whitewater defense held La Crosse to 119 yards. Blanchard went 18-30 for 248 yards, five of those to Luke Menzel (Sheboygan Falls/Oostburg). Coppage rushed 21 times to 108 yards. Lee Lauters led UW- L with 89 yards on 15 carries, and DB Jack Leahy's 12 tackles, including three for a loss, led both teams. In the Polls UW-W is ranked number one in both the AFCA III poll and by D3football.com. UW-L is not ranked. Purple Streak The Warhawks have the longest winning streak in college football, 39 games. The 39 wins ties the University of Washington (1908-1914) for the fifth longest win streak in NCAA history. The Warhawks have also built streaks of 27 in a row on the road, 25 in a row at Perkins Stadium, 19 consecutive nonconference games, 22 WIAC games, and 10 in a row in the NCAA III playoffs. The Coaches Whitewater's Lance Leipold is in his fifth year as head coach of the Warhawks and has compiled a record of 66-3, including 28-1 in the WIAC. In his first head coaching opportunity, Leipold has earned national Division III coach of the year honors three out of the four years and was named WIAC Coach of the Year the last two. Joel Detwiler is in his first year, taking over for Larry Terry February 7th in time for late recruiting and spring practice. An Oregon, Wisconsin native and 1997 UW-Platteville graduate, Detwiler coached the last seven years at Wartburg College, including the last three as defensive coordinator. Wartburg went 57-18 and won three league titles while Detwiler was on the staff. UW- La Crosse Notes (3-6 overall, 2-4 WIAC) UW-L was edged by UW-River Falls in La Crosse last week, 28-21 in overtime. The Eagles went 88 yards in eight plays, with Andy Sires hitting Tony Bilderback with a 21 yard pass to jump in front. Another Sires to Bilderback pass made it 14-0 in the first and, after a B.J. Letourneau to Brady Hannigan 23 yard pass cut RF's deficit to 14-7 at the half. A Ben Hertrampf 59 yard run put UW-L's lead back at 14, 21-7, but Letourneau passed for 17 yards to Joel Yogerst to trim that back to 21-14. Letourneau's third TD pass of the game, this time to Jon Manke, ended a 96 yard drive with 0:54 left and knotted the game. In OT the Falcons used four plays to score a touchdown, while the Eagles' attempt to tie it was ended with an interception. Hertrampf rushed 22 times for 199 yards and Bilderback caught six passes for 80 yards. RF totaled 404 yards of offense, La Crosse 338. The teams combined for 18 punts. UW-L is third in a couple of team categories in the WIAC stats. The Eagles are third in rushing defense (144.1), third in opponent third down conversions (37.3), and tied for third in fewest penalties (37.1). Hertrampf's big game last week moved him to third in rushing (102.4/game, 6.9/attempt), and he's third in scoring (6.8/game). Junior Jack Welch leads the league in punt returns (9.5/attempt) and Christian Hallingstad is number one in punting (42.3). La Crosse also has three defenders among the top ten tacklers in the WIAC, with junior DB Matthew Buswell fourth (8.6/game), junior linebacker Jack Leahy tied for fifth (8.4), and junior DB Jake Meckstroth tied for tenth (7.6). UW-L has one of the best punt teams in D3. The Eagles are 26th in net punting (34.6) and Hallingstad is third with his 42.3 average. Hertrampf has risen to 39th in rushing. 127
