UW-W Extends Nation’s Longest Win Streak to 37
10/22/2011
UW-Oshkosh threw down the gauntlet, and UW-Whitewater answered. UW-W, ranked number one in
Division-III football, extended its collegiate football leading win streak to 37 games with a 20-17 victory at
J.J. Keller Field in Oshkosh, Wisconsin Saturday. Whitewater, 7-0 overall and 4-0 in the Wisconsin
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, won for the ninth consecutive time against the twentieth ranked
Titans, now 5-2 and 3-1.
Oshkosh scored first on a 29-yard field goal by Nate Becker with 9:01 in the first quarter. A 53-yard pass
from Nate Wara to Cole Myhra set up the field goal. The 7-0 score did not change the rest of the period.
Whitewater did not put any points on the board in the first quarter, marking the first time since October 9,
2010 against UW-Stout in Whitewater, a span of 16 games.
In the second quarter Whitewater senior quarterback Matt Blanchard (Lake Zurich, IL/Lake
Zurich)’s 23-yard run at 14:52 put Whitewater ahead 7-3.
Oshkosh took the lead on a Charlie Weissman 1-yard run with 12:11 left in the half. The Titan drive was
aided by pass interference and personal foul penalties on the Warhawks. Whitewater’s Eric Kindler
(Germantown/Germantown) knotted the score at 10-10 with a 47-yard field goal at 4:49.
Oshkosh regained the lead on a Jeremy Roach 14-yard touchdown run with just 1:18 left in the half,
ending a drive that started on the Titans own 20. The last time the Warhawks went into halftime behind in
the score, was the 2008 Stagg Bowl, where the Warhawks trailed Mount Union 24-10.
Oshkosh averaged 7.9 yards per rush and was 3-3 in the red zone in the first half. Whitewater was
penalized 3 times for 35 yards, Oshkosh once for 5 yards.
In the third quarter, with Whitewater facing 1-10 at the Oshkosh 20, Blanchard’s pass was picked off in
the endzone by Charlie Stueck, who returned it to the 12.
Not dissuaded, Whitewater came back to tie the game with a Blanchard to Jason Ford (Palatine,
IL/Fremd) 8-yard scoring pass with 1:13 left in the third. The scoring play was set up by a Blanchard to
Tyler Huber (Mukwonago/North Prairie) pass that covered 62-yards, taking the ball inside the 10.
In the fourth quarter, Oshkosh faced a third and one at the Whitewater 41 and the Warhawk defense
held. The results were the same on UW-O’s fourth down attempt.
