Patterson registered 215 total yards, including 155 rushing and 60 receiving, and scored two touchdowns Saturday to help the No. 2 Warhawks to a 32-22 victory at previously undefeated UW-La Crosse to take sole possession of first place in the WIAC. Patterson averaged 6.7 yards per carry on 23 carries and caught a pair of screen passes on a fourth-quarter drive to help set up a field goal, which made it a two-possession game with five minutes to go. He scored his first touchdown of the contest with 7:39 left in the first quarter on a 15-yard run, and added his second, a 13-yarder, at the 14:37 mark of the fourth quarter to put UW-Whitewater ahead for good. Patterson rushed for 61 of the team's 75 total yards on the go-ahead drive. The performance was his third 100-yard rushing game and sixth contest with 80 or more rushing yards this season.
