Radavich accounted for both UW-Oshkosh touchdowns as the Titans defeated NCAA Division II Lincoln University of Missouri, 17-7, on Sept. 15 in Jefferson City, Mo. Radavich, who was making his second career start at quarterback, gave UW-Oshkosh a 7-0 lead with his 1-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter. He then broke a 7-7 tie with his 6-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell Gerend early in the fourth period. Radavich completed 14 of 19 passes for 156 yards against the Blue Tigers, while rushing three times for one yard.
