TSN Prediction
http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/news/news.aspx?id=4189482
No. 9 Weber State ( 8-2, 6-0 Big Sky) at Idaho State ( 0-9, 0-5 Big Sky), 3:35 p.m.
Weber State will try to clinch a share of its first Big Sky title since 1987 and the leagues automatic bid to the playoffs with a win over Idaho State. The Wildcats cracked the top 10 of the Sports Network poll for the first time since 1998 and can claim just their fourth league title in school history. WSU shared titles in 1965, 1968 and 1987, but can win this crown outright with victories over Idaho State and Eastern Washington.
Standing in the way of Weber State's title bid is winless Idaho State, which has lost its last 11 of 12 in the series, with the only win coming in 2002. The Bengals have also dropped 13 consecutive games over two seasons, the second longest streak in FCS behind Indiana States string of 23 straight losses.
The Bengals are coming off a 49-10 loss at Carl Poly, in which they allowed 459 yards on the ground to the Mustangs, the most an ISU team has yielded in nearly a decade. That total was the most since Southern Utah rushed for 679 yards on October 21, 2000, a 62-24 Thunderbird win. All told, the Mustangs picked up 557 yards of total offense.
Signal-caller Russel Hill (2,495 passing yards, 14 TDs and 13 interceptions) turned in a decent performance against one of the nation's elite teams, connecting on 18-of-27 passing. However, for the third straight road game he was held without a touchdown pass. Hills favorite target was sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Burel (42 receptions, 9.9 yards per catch and a TD), who caught a career-high 11 passes for 110 yards.
With its struggles the over the past several weeks, ISUs defense is the worst in all of FCS, yielding an astounding 487 yards per game (118th in FCS). Linebacker Ryan Phipps (team-leading 80 tackles and 3.5 sacks), continues to put up solid totals despite Idaho State's tremendous struggles as a defensive unit this season.
Weber State is not far removed from the perils facing a young Idaho State team. The Wildcats suffered through a 1-10 campaign just four seasons ago. Things have progressively improved under coach Ron McBride, especially in recruiting.
The Wildcat offense continues to be among the nation's most versatile attacks, led by quarterback Cameron Higgins (3,110 passing yards, 30 TDs and eight interceptions) and running back Trevyn Smith (1,030 rushing yards and 12 TDs).
What makes the offense so tough to stop are the number of targets that Higgins has to throw to, including leading wide receiver Tim Toone (team-leading 55 receptions, 16.7 yards per catch and five TD receptions) and tight end, Cody Nakamura (36 receptions,16.8 yards per catch and eight TD catches).
Weber State's defense, which ranks 37th in FCS (329 yards per game), has struggled most against the pass this season (212 yards per game, 69th in FCS), and will need to do a better job than it did in last week's 31-21 win over Portland State, when it yielded a season-high 354 yards.
Safeties Scott Goodloe (34 tackles, tied for team lead with three interceptions) and Beau Hadley (team-leading 83 tackles, tied for team-lead with three interceptions) have been big-play artists on defense.
Coming off a lackluster performance, Weber State should regain some much-needed focus in this game, considering how close the Wildcats are to several goals. The Wildcats have far too much talent for the Bengals in this one.

I sure hope you guys are right. This could be a huge trap game for the Wildcats. I hope they are not overlooking those bungling Bengals while thinking about Eastern and the playoffs. I have seen my Wildcat football team disappoint me too many times before. With that said, I think this team has shown that they are different, and I and looking for and hoping for a blowout win for our men in Purple in Pocatato on Saturday.
