Minutes later, Wara completed third-down passes to Voss for 16 and 15 yards. Mitch Hintz (Jr. • Kimberly) ended that drive with a 16-yard touchdown catch to make it 14-0 with 4:52 on the first-quarter clock.

On their next possession, Hank Kujak found Trevor Morning for a 54-yard score that put UW-Stout on top, 15-14.

The final series of the half was set up by Tanner Kuehn's 36-yard punt return. UW-Stout marched into the red zone with carries of 13 and seven yards by Brown. As time expired, Ricky Marteney made a 31-yard field goal for the 18-14 cushion.

The Titans took the second-half kickoff and went 75 yards in 11 plays. Wara capped the drive with a one-yard quarterback sneak to take the 21-18 lead. Ray added a 22-yard field goal at the 7:02 mark of the third quarter to make it 24-18.

UW-Oshkosh increased its margin to nine points with the help of some UW-Stout penalties. A pass interference call gave the Titans 15 yards before Wara fired to Zach Kasuboski (So. • Wautoma) for a gain of 18. After a 14-yard run from Myhra, Ray knocked through a 22-yard field goal to lead, 27-18.

Corey Dulak-Sigler (So. • West Allis), Kyle Heller (Sr. • Appleton) and Ryan Stefaniak (Jr. • Milwaukee) each intercepted a pass for the Titans. Nick Jolin (Sr. • Three Lakes) paced the squad with 11 tackles, while UW-Stout received 11 stops from Billy Rosenthal.
