Meanwhile, the Wildcats were 6-5 last year — their first winning season since 2010. They hope the momentum from four wins in their last six games and a 5-3 finish in the Big Sky Conference propels them to greater heights.
"They absolutely could have a really good year in the Big Sky," Utah State coach Matt Wells said. "… They finished really strong last year. I don't have a good sense for that league, but I've got a good sense for Weber State and it wouldn't surprise me to see them in the playoffs."
The game will be the first at Maverik Stadium since the completion of a $36 million renovation project.
