Week 5
Lawrence gets an exciting WIAC opener, hosting UW-Platteville. UW-La Crosse is also at home, starting WIAC play vs. UW-Oshkosh.

Well, the Eagles are shut out 28-0. T George Weston is 0 of 2 in key run block situations and gives up a sack. RB Mitchell Thompson gets special teams duty again.

The Vikings eviscerate the Pioneers 28-7. RB Rod Bruce has his best day in a long, long time, ripping off a 52 yard touchdown run and winning Player of the Game with 9 carries for 81 yards and 3 TDs and 2 catches for 17 yards. That's the good news. The bad news is A.J. DiGuardi definitely seems to have passed him on the depth chart. FB Terry Ellard gets in on a run play and is 0 for 1 in key run block opportunities. He's also in on 2 pass plays.

Arkansas State contacts G Justin Franklin.

Week 6
Lawrence has a home game against Eastern Michigan, UW-Platteville hosts Air Force, and UW-La Crosse, still winless, goes to Northern Illinois.

UW-L at last gets its first victory, stunning the Huskies 37-34 in OT. T George Weston goes 1 for 3 in key run blocks and gives up another sack, while RB Mitchell Thompson plays special teams.

The Vikings continue the winning, knocking out the Eagles 37-10. RB Rod Bruce gets 5 carries for 15 yards and 3 receptions for 21 yards. Very frustrating, but not surprising, that he's had his role reduced even more this season than last.

UW-Platteville can't make it 3 for 3, reamed 45-3 by the Falcons. FB Terry Ellard gets his first collegiate carry... and is stuffed for -3 yards. He saw his most action of the year in this blowout - 7 run plays, 2 pass plays.

G Les Hartwig is contacted by Navy.

Week 7
Lawrence will try to make it four in a row at home vs. UW-Stout. UW-La Crosse has a home game against #17 UW-Stevens Point, and UW-Platteville hosts #16 UW-Eau Claire. Some very, very good teams in the WIAC this season.

The Pointers show why they're a top 25 team, blowing out UW-La Crosse 45-17. T George Weston is 1 for 2 in key run blocks and surrenders 2 sacks. RB Mitchell Thompson special teams again.

Don't let the close score fool you. Lawrence was soundly beaten, 33-28, by UW-Stout. RB Rod Bruce gets 4 carries for 10 yards, clearly the 2nd string back. He also caught 2 for 51 yards.

It's all gloom, UW-Eau Claire knocking off Platteville 41-14. FB Terry Ellard has his first college catch... for -5 yards. That's -8 total yards he's had so far in his college career. 1 run play, 2 pass plays.

G Justin Franklin is visiting Northern Illinois, Purdue, and UW-Platteville, the latter of whom jumped in with a scholarship offer. If he goes to Platteville, it'd be the first time in this dynasty we've had two players from the same high school go to the same school. UW-La Crosse makes a walk-on offer. Right now, it's still UW-Oshkosh as the favorites, although Northern Illinois is a strong candidate as well. You also can't entirely count out Purdue as a Big Ten school.

And G Les Hartwig finally makes his decision. He'll be suiting up for...
















THE UW-WHITEWATER WARHAWKS!

Least.shocking.news.ever. His press conference was hard to understand, because he kept talking in a high-pitched voice about how thrilled he was to play for the school he's always dreamed of. Good for him, I suppose, although UW-Whitewater, contrary to real life, has a best record of 5-6 in this dynasty, and next best is 3-8. The Warhawks have also had 3 winless seasons in this universe and are 16-111 overall, ranking them 4th fewest wins lifetime, ahead of only 14 win Indiana and Nevada (Yay!!! RENO SUCKS! RENO SUCKS!) and 11 win Baylor.

But then again, it's been a whole lot of losing so far for our schools this year. Oh, and Whitewater also has the third longest losing streak ever at 28 games, behind only Nevada () with 36 and Baylor with 47.
