Whitewater’s Brekke, who had only thrown two passes this season, started the game in place of injured Matt Blanchard. You would not have known that watching Brekke go 23-30 for 292 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Brekke and Rusch combined for 12 receptions for 169 yards and the three scores. In addition to his fumble recovery Arnold had two sacks, six tackles and a pass breakup for UW-W. Linebacker Teddy Henkle had nine tackles, one sack and a pass breakup for Franklin. The Series 2010 was the first meeting between the schools. The Coaches Whitewater’s Lance Leipold, in his first head coaching opportunity, has compiled a four year record of 58- 3, including 28-1 in the WIAC. He has earned national Division III coach of the year honors three of the four years, and WIAC Football Coach of the Year the last two. Franklin’s Mike Leonard, in his ninth year as a head coach (all at Franklin), is 58-28. Leonard has been named Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Football Coach of the Year four of the last five years. Franklin Notes Franklin went 9-2 overall last year, 8-0 in winning the HCAC. Franklin will present a variety of looks, including no running back, fielding a fleet of receivers. The Grizzlies opened the season with a barrage of points, winning at Valparaiso University 49-35. Franklin rushed the ball 46 times for 221 yards (4.8 average), and still threw the ball 51 times, completing 32 for 448 yards. Back Ethan Cook, listed second on Franklin’s two-deep, carried the all 19 times for 116 yards. Five of FC’s seven touchdowns came via the pass. Sophomore Jonny West, who compiled those stats, was under center. West threw a pair of interceptions. Split ends Kyle Linville and Mitch Deffner each caught eight passes, with Linville gobbling up 151 yards. Franklin doubled Valpo’s 18 first downs, and out-gained the Crusaders 669-463. Franklin also did not hurt themselves with penalties, committing just three in the win. The Franklin defense features First Team All-HCAC linebacker David O’Rourke, a senior, and cornerback Zack Corpe, the HCAC Freshman of the Year in 2010. Corpe also returns kicks. O’Rourke had two sacks at VU, and Corpe made seven tackles and forced a fumble. Sophomore linebacker Scott Moore led Franklin with nine tackles against Valparaiso. Franklin’s home field resembles the field UW-Whitewater plays on -- at least in history. The stadium is named for Stewart “Red” Faught, Franklin’s coach for 33 years. The facility was renamed before last year started after a major renovation made possible by the generosity of the Branigan family. Whitewater’s Perkins Stadium is named for Forrest Perkins, their coach of 29 years who designed and raised money for the stadium. The stadium was renovated prior to 2010 thanks the generosity of the Kachel family and their support of all athletic facilities. UW-Whitewater Notes UW-W opened the season with a 26-7 win at UW-La Crosse. Although the game was against a fellow Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference member, it was the first of two meetings this season and was designated as a non-conference game. WIAC schools have found it difficult, and in tight economic times, expensive, to schedule non-conference opponents. 88

Sophomore plac ekicker Eric Kindler earned WIAC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Kindler was 4-4 on field goals (38-33-41-36) and 2-2 on PATs. He also kicked off seven times, with six of those at or inside the ten yard line. Matt Blanchard resumed the duties at quarterback, seeming none the worse for the forced layoff. Blanchard went 18-30 for 248 yards. Blanchard did not throw a pick, after throwing 225 passes with just one interception in 2010. Sophomore Luke Menzel caught six passes for 61 yards, and 2010 D3football.com Offensive Player of the Year Levell Coppage ran 21 times for 108 yards (5.1 average). The Warhawk defense held the Eagles to nine first downs and 119 yards overall. That total included 40 yards passing on 7-17 attempts. Linebacker Kyle Wismer led the Whitewater defenders with six tackles plus one for a loss. Defensive end Anthony Dowery had five, and was in on a sack and a tackle for a loss. UW-W’s win streak, longest in any Division of NCAA football, has reached thirty-one games. That streak includes seventeen in a row in non-conference play.
