Week 4: Weber State @ UC Davis The Wildcats come into this match up with a 3-0 record with predictable wins over Western Oregon (41-5) and Utah Tech (44-14), while also claiming an impressive FBS victory over Utah State (35-7).
On offense, Weber State has a 2 headed monster in their rushing attack with RBs Josh Davis and Damon Bankston. Davis has 44 rushing attempts for 217 yards and 2 touchdowns while Bankston has 43 rushing attempts for 265 yards and 2 touchdowns. QB Bronson Barron returns to action as the man under center. He's completed 52/83 passing attempts (62.65%) for 722 yards with 6 TDs and 3 INTs. He's additionally added 81 rushing yards. Barron's top receiving targets have been WRs Jacob Sharp and Ty MacPherson. Sharp has 13 receptions for 246 yards and 1 TD while MacPherson has 10 receptions for 243 yards and 5 TDs. Overall, the Wildcats have a very balanced offense gaining 210.7 rushing yards per game and 245.0 passing yards per game.
On defense, the Wildcats have only allowed 26 points over the course of 3 games including a FBS matchup. LB Winston Reid is their leading tackler with 22 total tackles with 2 tackles for loss and .5 sacks. S Naseme Colvin has been causing havoc behind the line of scrimmage with 3.5 tackles for loss on the season. Cody should be harping on Miles to STAY AWAY from CB Maxwell Anderson who has 4 interceptions on the season already. Gonna be a tough matchup as Weber only allows 59.3 rushing yards per game and 177.0 passing yards per game. They have allowed 0 rushing TDs through 3 games.
P Jack Burgess is averaging 44.3 yards per punt with a long of 53 on the season. He has landed 6/10 punts inside the 20. K Kyle Thompson is 7/10 on FGs although similarly to our situation he is 0/3 on FGs 40+ yards. WR Haze Hadley is their main punt returner and is averaging 14.29 yards per return with a long of 47. CB Abraham Williams and RB Damon Bankston have taken the majority of kick returns averaging 21.67 and 29.0 yards per return respectively.
All-in-all, this will be another incredibly tough match up for the Aggies. We were lucky to beat them last season and that was with both teams dealing with injuries. If the Wildcats had just beaten up on Western Oregon and Utah Tech I would maybe have a little bit more confidence going into the game, but with how they manhandled Utah State... I don't know, we could be in for a rough one.
