Blue Devils defeat Platteville

UW-Stout's offense didn't score a touchdown until the waning seconds of the game, but the way the Blue Devils' defense and special teams played, they didn't need to as UW-Stout defeated UW-Platteville, 28-7, Saturday at Don & Nona Williams Stadium in the annual Hall of Fame game. The Blue Devil defense intercepted four passes and returned two for touchdowns. Our defense is starting to come into their own, they are starting to understand Coach (Clayt) Birmingham's defense and are becoming confident in it and it shows in their aggressive play. Offensively, we are moving the football when we need to and not making big mistakes. The points will come as long as we continue to work hard and believe. Special teams have been doing very well, with Coach Bird and Coach Thomas continuing to lead the team in this area. Field position has been a big factor in what we do, and this past week is no exception. Field position and return yards played a huge role in the win.
