MENOMONIE – The UW-Stout football team will play in the fourth annual Culver's Isthmus Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 23. The Blue Devils will play Wheaton College (Ill.) at 2 p.m. at Bank of Sun Prairie Stadium at Ashley Field in Sun Prairie, Wis.
Stout finished the season 6-4 overall and 4-3 in WIAC play and will face Wheaton College (8-2, 8-1). The schools will meet for the first time with both teams making their first Isthmus Bowl appearance.
The bowl game features the top two teams from the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) and the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) that did not make the NCAA Division III Championship. The Blue Devils (6-4 overall, 4-3 WIAC) finished in a four-way tie for third place with UW-Oshkosh, UW-River Falls and UW-Whitewater, and received the Isthmus Bowl bid from the conference's tiebreaking procedures. The Thunder (8-2, 8-1 CCIW) placed second in the CCIW standings.
Stout is the third different program to represent the WIAC in the Isthmus Bowl. UW-River Falls faced WashU in 2021 and 2022, with UW-River Falls earning victories each year. UW-Platteville defeated Augustana last November in the 2023 Isthmus Bowl.
