Voice talks about what is going on this weekend in the world of football

Voice here with some football observations over the past couple of days.

• UW-Whitewater Training camp will end following Friday morning’s scrimmage inside Perkins Stadium. The scrimmage begins at 9 a.m.

• I will be focusing on the rotations for several positions.

• Twenty defensive backs have been battling for a roster spot. Who will join Matt McCulloch in the Warhawk secondary when Whitewater opens the season in eight day’s vs. Adrian College (Michigan) at the Perk. The question that will also need to be answered is who will claim Jeff Schebler’s place kicking job. Four are vying for the position. How many kickers will earn roster spots.

• Elsewhere in the WIAC – UW-La Crosse apparently raised a few eyebrows with a dominating scrimmage Tuesday afternoon at Luther College (Iowa). According to the La Crosse Tribune - The UW-La Crosse football team couldn't have asked much more of its first-team defense during Tuesday's scrimmage against Luther College. Unofficially, on Luther's first allotted 12 offense plays, the Eagles gave up a total of 5 yards, including four touch sacks (quarterbacks were off limits) and zero pass completions on two attempts. The UW-L offense reportedly looked very good out of its spread offense.

• Two of UW-Whitewater non-conference opponents open the season Saturday.

• Midland Lutheran College, a team that UWW played early in the 2009 season, opens at Dakota State University. Meanwhile, 25th ranked (NAIA) opens at home vs. Kentucky Christian. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m. (local time).

• Former Mount Union star, Pierre Garcon, said hello to Wisconsin Thursday night, catching an 18 yard touchdown pass from Peyton Manning on the second play of the game at Lambeau Field. UW-Whitewater beat Garcon in his senior season at Mount as the Warhawks beat Garcon’s team 31-21 to capture UWW’s first football national championship in school history.

• Good luck to all the high school teams around the state as prep football kicks off Friday night.

• A special good luck to Whitewater head coach Ben Cooper. Ben also serves as the President of the UW-Whitewater Quarterback Club.
