This Saturday Sept 16th the Wildcats and the Hornets will meet as non conference foes for the fourth straight year in Sacramento California at 7pm MST.
Weber State leads the series against the Hornets 13-8, and have won 6 of the last 10 games, HOWEVER... Sacramento State has won 3 of the last 5 (2012,2013,2014) and Weber has not won in Sacramento since 2008 when Weber were Big Sky Champs.
Weber needs to get that monkey off their back and get what has been a very elusive win in Sacramento.
The Hornets are coming off a thrubbing of Incarnate Word 56-22. They also played well in week one losing to the University of Idalol 28-6.
It's hard to gage just how good the Hornets really are, Idaho who they looked pretty decent against just got thumped by UNLV (who lost to Howard the week before) 44-16. And Incarnate Word who is only in their 5th year of FCS football got demolished by Fresno State 66-0 in week one. Could the Hornets be better than advertised? Or have their games been misleading? Cant tell for sure yet.
Weber on the other hand is coming off a game they should have won (TURNOVERS :wall: ) against the Golden Bears of Pac 12 representative California. After taking a 20-17 lead into the 4th Qtr, the Golden Bears went on to score 16 straight fueled by Weber State turnovers to win by 13. The week prior Weber State laid down the gauntlet on UM Western in a 76-0 rout. Although impressive one must not forget that UM Western is an NAIA school and the result should not be thought too much on. Weber showed some very promising signs in their game against the Golden Bears including outstanding defense and quarterback play.
In my opinion we are going to see just how good both of these teams really are on Saturday. The Hornets will be looking to keep their streak in California alive and Weber wants to end their Sacramento draught. I think Weber is the better team and will be the favorite going into the game. The Hornets will make it competitive though and the game could very well come down to the wire.
My prediction. Weber State scores late to put it away and wins 31-20
