For the record, Weber State held San Diego State and Nevada to a combined 25 points. However, Weber only managed to score 19 points in both of those matchups combined.
Strong on defense. Trying to pop big plays with their speed on offense. NAU gave up a lot of big plays.
Weather forecast is for 87 degrees Saturday which is 13 degrees above average. Everyone will be baking at the 4 pm kickoff and chasing what little shade there is...ugh!
i don't put stock into point spreads at the FCS level, BUT, we're listed as 2.5-point favorites this weekend. that seems like a stretch. they beat Poly and SUU (home) by a similar scores, and have a nice win over UNI. two close losses to Nevada and San Diego State, both who are a bit down this year. after they ran for a mile last week, I would have thought they'd be solid favorites. hopefully, no wind on saturday so we can throw the ball all four quarters.
I like our chances this week. It'll be close, and we cannot afford for the entire team to shutdown for 1-2 quarters in a row like they did with CP and SUU. If they put in a solid 4 like they did at NDSU, we've got this.
Sounds like Weber St. fans are having similar feelings, "WSU/UCD is another toss up. My head says take the home team, but my heart wants to take Weber. If Weber can finally put a full game together they win this one."
We’ve been much better v the run since California. Held our own v NDSU and Poly. This group is a notch above those two , more like Cal (before their injuries), but our LBs and DL are much improved
I hope Plough and Tucker are whipping up some beauties. We need this game...and I have a feeling we'll have to be more physical to win it...either that or smarter.
Yes & Yes. The limited highlight I saw, this Sophomore RB phenom was bursting through massive holes straight ahead for big gains. I don't recall him getting around the edge.
Big question mark is our running back situation.
Gilliam left last game...injured?
Troy Spencer didn’t play.... injured?
Tehran Thomas hasn’t played for several games... still out?
