An energized UW-Whitewater football team has begun its preparation for Saturday's season opener at Perkins Stadium vs. Adrian College (Michigan).
"This will be a very good test," UWW head coach Lance Leipold indicated on Monday night's KOOL 106.5 Coaches Show. "To be able to play a Division III opponent like them (Adrian) is going to be a very good nonconference test for us."
"They will definitely be an unknown for us," Leipold said. "Unknown because they are a team we have never played. Unknown because we have been unable to exchange tape with them. Adrian also has a first year head coach, Jim Deere who was promoted from his Adrian defensive coordinator position."
Saturday's Welcome Back Students Day Game vs. Adrian will include a pregame ceremony honoring UW-Whitewater's 2009 NCAA Division III National Championship team with the hoisting of a second D III championship flag in the past three years.
Kickoff Saturday at the Perk is set for 12-Noon.
