WIAC INSIDE THE NUMBERS: WEEK 6

UW-Stevens Point 41 UW- Oshkosh 17
UW-O grabbed a 14-0 lead, converting two UW-SP turnovers into points. However, it was the Pointers who did most of the capitalizing as they scored 24 of their 41 points off of Titans' turnovers. Jared Jenkins' 55 yard TD reception in the second quarter gave the Pointers' the lead for good at 17-14. It was Jenkins longest reception of the year. Quarterbacks Nate Wara and Jake Swank led their teams in rushing with 107 and 75 yards respectively. Overall,the play was fairly sloppy as the teams combined for 14 penalties, 8 fumbles, and 3 interceptions.

UW-Platteville 35 UW-Eau Claire 14
The Pioneers wanted to get playmaker Lee Vlasak more touches and found a creative way to do it. Vlasak, the Pioneers' leader in receiving yards was moved to running back and gained 114 yards and scored 5 touchdowns. UW-P rushed for a season high 176 yards. The Pioneers scored all five times they were in the Red Zone while the Blugolds were 2-4. Platteville sacked Austin Neu 5 times, while the Blugolds never got to Pioneer QB Nick Anderson. Platteville outgained UW-EC by a hundred yards (376-276) and each team turned the ball over once.

UW-LaCrosse 37 UW-River Falls 20
Falcons' star running back Taylor Edwards left the game with an injury after just 3 carries. River Falls held a 14-7 lead midway through the 2nd quarter when backup running back John Schimenz scored from 4 yards out. UW-L held merely an 8 yard advantage in total yardage 380-372, but won the turnover battle 4-2. After scoring on their 2nd and 3rd possessions, the Falcons' next seven drives were futile: fumble, held on downs, end of half, safety, fumble, fumble, punt. During this time the Eagles ran out to a 37-14 lead. The Eagles featured a balanced attack gaining 202 yards on the ground and 178 through the air.

UW-Whitewater 30 UW-Stout 7
Although Stout never led, they trailed by only 3 points at half-time. After Stout's TD with 2:25 remaining in the first half, the Blue Devils didn't advance past their own 40 yard line again until their final possession when they were trailing 30-7. UW-W outgained UW-S 468-238 and neither team had a turnover. The efficient Warhawks were 10-14 on third down conversions, 3-3 in red zone scoring, and did not turn the ball over or allow a sack.
