UW-Oshkosh (1-0), ranked 17th in the Division III by D3football.com, and Northern Michigan (0-1) will be meeting for the 26th time. The Titans defeated Northern Michigan, 28-10, last season in Marquette and own a 15-9-1 record in the series that began in 1923.

Northern Michigan suffered a 31-24 overtime loss at home to McKendree University (Ill.) last Saturday. The Wildcats kicked a field goal with 50 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to force overtime, but McKendree got a 1-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-goal on the first overtime possession. Northern Michigan's overtime possession concluded following an incomplete pass on fourth-and-16 at the McKendree 21-yard line.

In last season's matchup, UW-Oshkosh built a 21-0 lead late in the second quarter at Northern Michigan as Berghammer tossed a pair of touchdowns. The Titans later put the game away on Berghammer's third touchdown pass of the game midway through the fourth period for a 28-10 lead.
