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 Football Coach of the Year the last two. Mike
Emendorfer is in his thirteenth season at UW-P. He has a 45-78 mark overall (.366) and 25-63 (.284)
record in the WIAC. He was the WIAC Coach of the Year in 2004 after leading the Pioneers to a 6-4
campaign.
UW-Platteville Notes
UW-P is 3-1 overall, 1-0 in the WIAC. The only loss for the Pioneers was a 23-14 defeat by sixth-ranked
Wheaton College (IL) 23-14 in Platteville September 17. Platteville rolled over Buena Vista 38-3 in the
season opener, defeated UW-Stevens Point 26-3 at Point in a non-conference game, and followed the
loss to Wheaton with a 17-14 home field win over UW-La Crosse last week. The Pioneer defense limited
the Eagles to 57 yards total yards rushing and just 1.7 yards per attempt. UW-P totaled nine tackles
behind the line of scrimmage and five quarterback sacks. The Pioneer QB duo of Bryce Corrigan and
Nick Anderson combined to go 22-36 for 231 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Jeff Bracken
hauled in ten passes for 135 yards. Running back Lee Vlasak carried the 21 times for 74 yards, and
added 5 pass receptions.
If you believe the stats Saturday’s encounter should be low scoring. Whitewater and Platteville rank 1-2 in
the WIAC in scoring defense (7.0/10.8), 1-2 in rushing defense (64.3, 76.0), 1-2 in turnover margin
(2.33/1.00), and 1-3 in total defense (190.3, 270.5). Four Pioneer defenders rank among the top seven in
the WIAC in tackles for a loss, with lineman Bronzun Kyles number one at 1.38 per game, with
linebackers Nick Snyder (1.25) and Chad Ihrig (1.00), and back Ryan McWethy also among the
leaders. Kyles, Snyder and McWethy are also among the league’s top ten in sacks, and McWethy is
seventh in total tackles. Regardless of who is throwing the ball for UW-P, Anderson or Corrigan, wideouts
Darin Blaser (19-197, 2 TD), Jeff Bracken (16-206, 1 TD) and Aaron Loferski (13-253, 2 TD) have made it
tough on opposing defenses. Vlasak’s 71.5 rushing yards per game, and 3.2 per attempt, keep defenses
honest.
