Will FCS Weber beat FBS Wyoming on Sep 5?

[Wedgebuster]

If Wyoming can't beat the fourth or fifth best college football team in Utah, then they need to drop football all together.

Nuff said!

[AZGrizFan]

One more thing, for the UM fans:

Vote if u think they really will win the game, don't just say no because you want WSU to lose.

Well, this UM fan voted NO because I don't think Weber will win...

And I don't think Weber will beat UM...or could beat my UM...

I voted yes.

[weberwildcat]

USU will beat NMexico St, Idaho, SUU all for sure. San Jose & LA Tech will likely be losses unless the new coach along with OUR entire WSU staff can change things right away up there in Logan. I think it might be a few yrs if they can really do it.

Since they joined the WAC here are all there conf wins (4 seaons):

San Jose
New Mex St (3 times)
Fresno
Idaho (2 times)
Hawaii

Have never beat:

Boise St
La Tech
Nevada


The last 2 coaches never even got 6 wins - Mic Denhey and Guy
The last coach to get 7 wins was in 1993.

Since 1948 the average life of an Aggie coach is 3.9 yrs. Since 1992 - 3.2 yrs. The last coach was 4 yrs. How long will the new coach last? Though John L Smith left on his own after 2 straight 6 wins seasons.

Where is the Weber victories over USU??

[Catattack]

I look at that schedule and think that it would be tough for any Big Sky team to win more than 4 games.

at Utah-
at Texas A&M-
vs. Southern Utah-
at BYU-
at New Mexico State-
vs. Nevada-
vs. Louisiana Tech-
at Fresno State-
at Hawai'i-
vs. San Jose State-
vs. Boise State-
at Idaho-

One other thought, isn't Weber 1-11 against USU?

Schewwwwwwwwwwut, when you gonna go gun down Wyoming and Colorado State, why even discuss a little trivia about series records between lowly Utah State, and high flying Weber.

[weberwildcat]

USU won't play Weber, they don't want to lose.

They are playing SUU this year which will be there first FCS game 2002 I think.

The last time WSU and USU played was 2001. USU won 56-43. WSU has only beat USU once, but USU has been rock bottom in program history lately, too bad they never played. Also, keep in mind WSU has had 3 conf titles in 40 yrs, WSU rarely is good in football.

WSU vs USU All-Time Games
Year Winner Score Location Series
1972 Utah State 20-16 Logan 0-1
1973 Utah State 10-3 Ogden 0-2
1974 Utah State 20-7 Logan 0-3
1975 Utah State 30-7 Ogden 0-4
1976 Utah State 36-10 Logan 0-5
1977 Utah State 23-14 Ogden 0-6
1978 Weber State 44-25 Logan 1-6 (WSU was 4-7 that yr)
1979 Utah State 34-10 Ogden 1-7

2001 Utah State 56-43 Logan 1-11 (WSU 3-8)

[Wildcat Ryan]

If Im not mistaken and I could be, I believe Weber State will play Utah State in 2010 or 2011 in Logan.

BRING ON THE AGGIES

After Wyoming was nearly beaten by that mediocre NDSU team, I'd say Weber has a good shot. I'm taking 'em to win by 10.

I agree, Wyoming only beat NDSU by 3, NDSU didnt even make the playoffs, and Weber went to the qrts, if Weber was better than NDSU last season, then why shouldnt Weber have a great chance at winning this game?

[BigSkyBears]

Weber will keep it close but I think they cowpokes will win in a nail-bitter.

That team wasn't nearly so "mediocre" until after their trip to Laramie. Weber will be soundly spanked and sent sulking back to seagull city.

[Jakemoe Grizfan]

I honestly think they will. Weber is coming back with the strong team that they had last year and if they can go down to the wire with Utah, they can potentially beat Wyoming. Don't say UM fans never support rivals.

If you can't win in Missoula, I doubt you can win in Laramie. Montana has never beaten Wyoming.

[FargoBison]

The injuries we got after the Wyo game definitely took their toll, I think we were running out third stringers in our next game in a few positions, which resulted YSU running all over us. It was also the start of many meltdowns to come from our QB. But good luck to Weber, maybe an FCS team can finally pull one out against the Cowboys.

UM has only played Wyo once, that is since the Big Sky started in 1963.

Not that any of this means anything but:
-Games Against Montanas
1997: (7-6) Wyo 28, UM 13
1998: (8-3) Wyo 17, Mont St 9
2003: (4-8) Wyo 21, Mont St 10
Most recent FCS games:
2008: (4-8) Wyo 16, North Dakota St 13
2004: (7-5) Wyo 53, Appy St 7
2003: (4-8) Wyo 21, Mont St 10
2002: (2-10) Wyo 34, Citadel 30
2001: (2-9) Wyo 20, Furman 14

Wyo is 48-12 against the Big Sky, but all wins were before the Big Sky and FCS started.

Explain to me how they "went down to the wire" with Utah. It was 24-7 at the half, 34-7 at the start of the 4th quarter.

[MrTitleist]

The 2001 game vs. Furman was the year Furman went on to play for the 1-AA championship, one of their three losses that year. In 2001 Wyoming went 2-9. Just for some perspective.

So with the odds so much against Weber, a victory will be a miracle. Will you help us celebrate, Mr. T?

[MrTitleist]

I assume you guys are buying the beer, right?

I'll buy the first round.

Hope to see you in Laramie!

A real crapshoot, isn't it? I'm actually going to Laramie the following weekend for the Texas game.

Now I wouldnt count my thunderbirds out just yet. I personally think that our Offense what with possibly our best O-line we have ever had since joining the FCS, a few really good power running backs, an amazing WR core and alot of talent at QB will see us keep it close with the aggies and we have a veteran D-line and several good DBs coming back so i think we have a good chance to beat them.

Defensive Gameplan: Force Diondre Borrel (their one offensive weapon) to throw 30-40 times during the game. If we shut down the Aggies running ability especially Borrels it would help us go a long way to beating the Aggies in the long run.

Offensive Gameplan: Grind the Aggie defense down with our first great rushing offense in years and then make them pay by spreading it out to our multiple very talented recievers. I think Cade Cooper, the starting QB could really mix things up with his legs as well and im predicting a W in Logan this year,
