The two key football games in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference on Saturday are UW-Stout at UW-Whitewater along with UW-Oshkosh at UW-Stevens Point.
The Pointers are coming off of an overtime loss to UW-Eau Claire, 20-13. The Pointers led 13-10 until UW-Eau Claire kicked a game tying field goal with 3:06 left in the fourth quarter. The loss put the Pointers at 0-1 in conference play.
The Pointers have not lost consecutive games since the end of the 2007 season, a streak that has now lasted two plus seasons.
UW-Oshkosh defeated UW-La Crosse last week by a score of 28-17. It was the Titans first triumph in its last 38 games with the Eagles. The victory gives Oshkosh a 2-0 mark in the WIAC.
The question going into Saturday’s game in Stevens Point is: Are the Titans for real?
UW-Oshkosh opened the season with a 45-28 loss to perennial NCAA Division III powerhouse Mount Union. The 28 points were the most the Purple Raiders surrendered during the regular season since 2001 (123 games).
An Oshkosh victory at Steven Point Saturday would serve notice that the Titans are legitimate contenders for the 2010 WIAC championship.
A Stevens Point victory will put the Pointers right back in the championship picture.
Other WIAC games Saturday include: UW-Eau Claire @ UW-Platteville, UW-Stout @ UW-Whitewater, and UW-River Falls @ UW-La Crosse.
