LA CROSSE, Wis. (November 1, 2025) – The 23rd-ranked UW-Stout football team battled hard but came up short on the road against No. 10 UW-La Crosse, falling 31-14 Saturday afternoon at Roger Harring Stadium at Veterans Memorial Field.
La Crosse (7-1, 5-1 WIAC) opened the scoring late in the first quarter on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Haas to Jack Janke. Stout answered midway through the second when senior quarterback
Adam Moen capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive with a 1-yard keeper to even the score at 7-7.
However, La Crosse quickly regained the lead after returning a Stout fumble for a touchdown less than two minutes later and took a 14-7 advantage into halftime.
The Eagles extended the lead to 21-7 midway through the third, but Moen once again brought Stout within striking distance, finishing another 75-yard drive with his second 1-yard touchdown run of the day to make it 21-14.
La Crosse sealed the win with two fourth-quarter scores—a 12-yard touchdown run by Jacob Huber and a 47-yard field goal by Michael Stack.
Blue Devils (5-3, 3-2 WIAC) managed 265 yards of total offense. Moen finished 19-of-29 passing for 175 yards while adding 24 rushing yards and both of Stout's touchdowns.
