Ogden • The Weber State Wildcats scratched, clawed and growled for the entire night, but came up just short in a 23-18 loss to the Maine Black Bears on Friday in the FCS quarterfinals.
Every time the Wildcats mustered an ounce of momentum, the Black Bears swiped it away. Weber State pulled to within two points in the third quarter only for Maine to answer with a 45-yard touchdown late in the fourth.
Defense ruled the night for both teams. WSU and Maine combined for 20 punts and went only 8 of 34 on third downs.
