Portland State

[Chex]

I wouldn’t be deceived by the 0-4 record. Portland State had a great first half vs UC Davis but couldn’t finish it out.. I still think Weber State can get the win. I originally picked 7-5 at the first of the year, but the defense and injuries are getting me feeling I was way too optimistic. If they had an average defense, I think they could do it…but it’s probably a bridge too far this year. They may need to really think outside of the box and maybe do blitz heavy packages or possibly run a 3-4-4.

Wildcats 42 Vikings 38

Is Brown going to play or is Dahle starting from here on out?

I expect this one to be close all the way to the end. I really hope we see Brown and Tate Kjar back in the line up. I assume Ferguson won't go which hurts as well. In my opinion the next three games are all winnable but the team will need to continue to improve and take some big leaps on D.

WSU 38 - 31

I'm assuming that Brown will be ready to go soon and hoping that Ferguson mends fast. They haven't said how severe his knee injury was. I'm thinking that our D will improve some, but they have a long way to go.

We always seem to have our way with PSU. 45-14

Offense needs to have long sustained drives and the D needs to create some TOs.

I hope you are right!!

Chex was right on, appearances can be deceiving. Either Portland St. is much better than thought or the Wildcat defense is doing a good job...of making the Vikings offense look real good. So far, I wasn't prepared to see this & have to say it appears like the Wildcats weren't prepared either, or maybe surprised?

Maybe a second half reversal, but if not, opposing BSC offenses are going to love playing against Weber State's defense. QB Brown appears too rusty, a big hole for QB Dahle to try & bring the offense out of. Growing pains, UGH!

Second half, Wildcats fought back but fall just short in a wild, crazy game. Thoroughly entertaining at least, wow!

704 yards of offense. 6 turnovers. Yikes.

6 turnovers. The last one you can’t afford to make with OT pending. Dahle is good but very much a freshman. I hated that stupid 2 point conversion decision. Defense wasn’t ready to play to start the game, but then showed up as the offense got sloppy. They gave Portland State that win on a platter.

The refusal to run inside the two early on for two straight downs was puzzling, too. Not a good showing. Might only have 1-2 more shots at a win this year.
