FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.-Saturday, Weber State football, coming off of the bye week, returns to action against Northern Arizona in a key Big Sky Conference tilt at the Walkup Skydome of Flagstaff, Ariz.
The 3-1 Wildcats, who are 1-0 in Big Sky play, are on a 3-game winning streak, having bested Cal Poly, South Dakota and Northern Colorado in succession after losing the season-opener to FBS foe Utah.
Weber State remains ranked highly in the polls headed into Saturday’s tilt against the Lumberjacks as they are #6 in the STATS FCS poll and #7 in the AFCA Coaches poll.
The Lumberjacks, who have vanquished FBS foe Texas-El Paso already this season, are 2-3 and 1-1 in Big Sky action, having bested Southern Utah September 22 and dropping a 56-42 game to Idaho State at Pocatello, Idaho last Saturday.
Traditionally, this series, which dates back to 1964, has been highly competitive. The Wildcats lead the all-time series 26-25 with the Lumberjacks leading 16-8 in the series at home.
The Wildcats have been blessed this season by the talents of freshman tailback Josh Davis, who averages 166.3 rushing yards per game and is second nationally in all-purpose yards with 219.3 such yards per game.
This is a 3:30 pm MDT kickoff Saturday afternoon.
