Weber State @ Portland State

Crazy seeing some of our schools' history together! lol

STORYLINE
Last year, the Wildcats scored the first 31 points in the game, then held off a furious Viking comeback in a 31-21 win in Ogden... the 2007 meeting at PGE Park is the highest-scoring Division I regulation football game in college history, 73-68. Amazingly, that was NOT the most points by either team in the series. Weber State earned a 74-6 win in 1965. A Mouse Davis-coached Portland State team won 75-0 in 1980. A 65-43 win by the Vikings in 2001 at PGE Park was highest-scoring game in PSU history by two teams, combined, until the 2007 contest... the Big Sky series has been very close, with the Wildcats taking a 7-6 lead last year... PSU leads the series in Portland, 8-6... Weber State comes off its first Big Sky Conference title since 1968, sharing first with Montana, but earning the automatic berth to the NCAA playoffs by winning the head-to-head meeting.

Yeah, it's been quite a series! I see we're using more freshmen, with starters out. Weber will be playing a freshman delux. Have mercy! By rights it should be a high-scoring game, lots of passing. But we manage to shoot ourselves in the foot every time we get close, so it may be lop-sided. The Year of the Freshmen. Oh well.
 
Our 2 best dlineman are injured. One may play but not likely. On offense our prseason all-american tight end ended his season with a knee injury against ISU, very sad, and he was a senior.

We have a lot of injuries butwe are hopeful most of them will be back for PSU or the next couple weeks.
 
Just fine, mate! He's everything he was drummed up to be. Long, spot on, and consistent. The only screwed up punt was in the last game when the hiker pitched it entirely over his head - even with his height - 6'5"? - and jumping he couldn't begin to reach it. Duyndam has fielded other bad hikes, but not this one. Our hiker is a second year man, and I think this is his first year hiking and it shows. He'll get better. Duyndam's an incr4edible freshman and I pray he'll stay here another three years. By that time I wouldn't be surprised to see him moving to the NFL. Thanks for loaning him to us!

A 7'3" punter wouldn't have been able to pull in that high snap last week. ;-)
