and took just one play, a Coppage 60 yard run, to make the lead 44-7. With both teams substituting liberally, the next score didn’t come until 5:53 in the third, when Kindler made his second field goal of the day, this time from 45 yards out and a 47-7 Whitewater bulge. UW-W defensive lineman Anthony Dowery (Saint Francis/Milwaukee South) picked up a Patrick Henry fumble at CU’s 21, and the Whitewater offense converted with Lee Brekke (Sun Prairie/Sun Prairie) throwing a three yard TD pass to Kominiko Sila (American Somoa/Anchorage, AK) for a 54-7 lead with 14:57 left in the game. The scoring ended on another Henry bomb, this time for 66 yards to Diaz Bolden with 6:14 left in the game. Whitewater piled up 571 yards to 254 for CU. UW-W averaged 5.2 yards per rush and had 22 first downs. The Tigers averaged 2.2 yards per run and had 11 first downs. Time of possession was 36:13 to 23:47 in favor of the Warhawks. The Warhawks defeated Campbellsville 37-7 in the third week of the 2010 season in Campbellsville, Kentucky. Blanchard, who played less than a half, was coldly efficient, hitting on 12-15 passes for 294 yards and the three touchdowns. Eight receivers shared the catches. Coppage, also playing less than half a game, rushed 15 times for 117 yards, and Desmin Ward carried the ball 9 times for 92. Sophomore linebacker Cole Klotz (Elm Grove/New Berlin Eisenhower) was credited with three solo tackles and five assists. Henry, who came in when starter Zach Eastham went out with an injury, completed just 4-22 passes, but two of those went for the long scores. Wayne Coffee carried the ball 15 times for 55 yards. Warrenhuffman had three catches for 87 yards. Defensive back Jeffery Demary was the game’s leading tackler, with 11. Whitewater’s winning streak includes 21 in a row in Perkins Stadium and 19 straight non-conference wins. Warhawks Keep Pick-Axe with Win Over Pioneers 9/24/2011 Number one UW-Whitewater defeated UW -Platteville 34-14 Saturday before 10,632 fans at Perkins Stadium in Whitewater, Wisconsin, running the nation’s longest win streak to 34 games. The win is also Whitewater’s seventh straight over UW-P. UW-W is 4-0 overall and 1-0 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Platteville is 3-2 and 1-1 in league play. Whitewater’s first drive ended with an interception, Platteville’s Nate Breiby picking off Matt Blanchard (Lake Zurich, IL/Lake Zurich) in the end zone for a touchback. It was Blanchard’s first pick since the Warhawks’ last regular season game in 2010 (Blanchard missed last year’s playoffs because of an injury), a string of 66 passes over five games. Platteville took the ball on their 20 and used six plays to jump in front 7-0. A pass from junior quarterback 60

John Kelly to Ryley Bailey covered 47 yards to put the ball at Whitewater’s 24, and two plays later Kelly hit Paul Reit for the 26 yard score with 5:49 left in the first quarter. Whitewater took the next kickoff and used ten plays, eight rushes by senior tailback Levell Coppage (Oak Park, IL/Oak Park) and a Blanchard to Coppage pass to consume 5:21. Coppage pushed over from the two for the tying score with 0:23 in the first. In the second quarter UW-W mounted another drive, this one covering 92 yards in 12 plays, with Blanchard and Tyler Huber (Mukwonago/North Prairie) connecting with 0:59 left in the half to put Whitewater in front 14-7. Platteville made the most of the fleeting time remaining. The Pioneers pulled a play out of the sandlot (“you’re the bottlecap, and you’re this stick”), Kelly throwing a lateral to running back Chad Roscoe and Roscoe hitting a wide open Reit for the 35 yard score with just 0:14 left in the half as the teams entered the lockerroom tied 14-14. The tie marked the first time UW-W had not led at the intermission since a 7-7 tie at North Central College in the NCAA III playoff quarterfinals December 4, 2010. Whitewater opened the second half with a drive that ended with an Eric Kindler (Germantown/Germantown) field goal -- that may have been a good omen for the Warhawks. Kindler’s 47 yard attempt hit the crossbar and bounced through to put UW-W in front 17-14 at 9:49 in the third. The Warhawk defense took heart, and stopped Platteville three times for a total of minus two yards as the Poineers went for it from their 41. UW-W took over and Kindler converted again, this time from 44 yards with 6:21 in the third for a 20-14 Warhawk lead. Again Platteville rolled the dice. Facing a third and six at Whitewater’s 32, a penalty on UW-P and two incomplete passes gave the ball back to UW-W at the 37. And again, the Warhawk offense made it count. A Blanchard to Jason Ford (Palatine, IL/Fremd) pass gained 23 yards, and five running plays put the ball in the end zone. Desmin Ward (Milwaukee/Hamilton) pushed several defenders, and a pile of bodies for the last couple of yards on a 12 yard run at 0:35 in the third for a 27-14 lead. The Pioneers moved into Whitewater territory, but for the third time the Whitewater defense held UW-P on third and fourth down. And yet again, Whitewater’s offense made the most of the opportunity. Despite three penalties, UW-W’s offense managed to score, or maybe it was the unique ability of Coppage. On the scoring play Coppage started to the left, then reversed his field, received a block from Blanchard, and out -ran the Platteville defense for 41 yards to end the drive, 34-14. Whitewater gained 270 yards on the ground, averaging 5.6 yards per rush. Coppage, a three time All- American, rushed 30 times for 168 yards, his biggest output of the season. Coppage, with 6,019 yards in his career, became just the second back in WIAC history to pass 6,000. Whitewater’s Justin Beaver 61
