['95 Blugold]

Blugolds beat Point 31-9 for Homecoming. Blugolds scored TDs on their 1st 2 possessions then a scoop and score fumble recovery had the Blugolds up 21-0 with about 5 minutes still left in the 1st quarter. Added 10 points in the second half and held the Pointers out of the endzone for the game.

First time to 4 wins since the 2018 season. First time staring a season 4-0 since who knows when. Maybe early 2000s? Now we'll see if we can beat a non UWSP WIAC opponent for the first time since 2019.

Platteville outplayed by Stout but with a couple of defensive scores they get enough points to win.  Their pass defense is vey suspect, good passing teams will give them lots of trouble.  Overrated at #4.  With big win over River Falls, wouldn't be surprised if WW jumps both RF and Pville in the rankings.  Agree with all those who said it will be tough to go through WIAC undefeated.

Tommy Novotney clearly the difference today. RF had nobody to match him: quicker, faster, more elusive than any other back on the field.I saw how much we miss Blaha today for the first time.D contained Novotney better second half.
Soft WW schedule for made zero difference, altho I thought it would.

I think McDevett will start vs Oshkosh next week.

It was really just a few plays and the game is completely different.  Take out the 2 long runs in the first half and Whitewater is in huge hole.  And when Whitewater had to pass they got nothing.  Just don't turn the ball over and make 2 tackle's, the game is completely different.  But, that didn't happen.  Hats off to both defences.
