(Hamilton) Patterson posted his third consecutive 100-plus yard rushing performance, totaling season highs with 32 carries (a career high) for 221 yards and three touchdowns in the Warhawks’ 21-14 triumph over UW-La Crosse, ranked 24th by the American Football Coaches Association, at Perkins Stadium on Oct. 13. His day included a 93-yard touchdown run, the team’s longest run from scrimmage since 2006, to give UW-Whitewater a two-possession lead early in the fourth quarter. Patterson also ran for a 4-yard touchdown in the first quarter and a 1-yard score five minutes into the third. He posted two runs of 20-plus yards in the first quarter alone to set the pace early. His yardage total was the second-highest of his career, just missing his 227-yard game against Belhaven University (Miss.) on Sept. 10 of last season. DEFENSE Jon Kallas, UW-Oshkosh Sr. LB Cedarburg, Wis. Kallas had a team-leading seven tackles, including four solo and 0.5 sack, one interception and one pass breakup as UW-Oshkosh defeated UW- Platteville, 28-14, on Oct. 14. Kallas, the Titans’ leading tackler on the season, collected his first career interception that thwarted UW-Platteville’s final possession of the first half at the UW-Oshkosh 21-yard line. He also broke up a pass on UW-Platteville’s last drive of the third period and notched a half-sack on a third down near midfield early in the fourth quarter. SPECIAL TEAMS Turner Geisthardt, UW-Oshkosh Jr. PK/P Omro, Wis. (Oshkosh North) Geisthardt averaged 60.4 yards per kickoff and 36 yards per punt, while converting each of his four extra points during UW-Oshkosh’s 28-14 victory at UW-Platteville on Oct. 14. Two of Geisthardt’s five kickoffs went for touchbacks, while a pair of his four punts pinned UW-Platteville inside its own 20- yard line. 2017 Preseason Predictions--Voted on by WIAC Statistics WIAC Head Coaches and Sports Information Directors (http://static.wiacsports.com/custompages/football/2017/confstat.htm) 2016 Record 1.
