Drew Patterson (Sussex, Wis./Hamilton), Junior, Running Back
Patterson posted his third consecutive 100-plus yard rushing performance Friday, totaling season highs with 32 carries (a career high) for 221 yards and three touchdowns in the Warhawks' 21-14 triumph over UW-La Crosse, ranked 24th by the American Football Coaches Association, at Perkins Stadium. His banner day included a 93-yard touchdown run, the team's longest run from scrimmage since 2006, to give UW-Whitewater a two-possession lead early in the fourth quarter. Patterson also ran for a 4-yard touchdown in the first quarter and a 1-yard score five minutes into the third. He posted two runs of 20-plus yards in the first quarter alone to set the pace early. His yardage total was the second-highest of his career, just missing his 227-yard game against Belhaven (Miss.) on Sept. 10 of last season.
