Crazy WSU/PSU game 44-41 Rain Storm

Post by weberwildcat »

Crazy win for Weber St over Portland State.

Almost 1200 combined yards; poured rain from start to finish and only 1 combined turnover.

PSU 600 yds; 278 passing; 322 rushing
WSU 548 yds; 211 passing; 337 rushing

WSU's Higgins ties Big Sky record of 96 career TD passes. A bit shocking to see WSU QB with only 11-19 and 211 yds in a game with this many yards. This is the Big Sky afterall.

PSU's 9 penalties were as bad as having turnovers. A few of them killed the Viks.

WSU hasn't had a 100 yr rusher the entire season and had 2 backs with 100+.

Bolen 22 for 156 yds and 2 TDs with a long of 30.
Tafuna 18 for 153 yds and 2 TDs with a long of 60.


PSU's Kavanaugh was 14-20 with 278 yds n 2 TDs and 114 yds rushing n a TD.
McCaffrey 24 for 178 yds rushing and 2 TDs

With just over a minute to go in the game WSU was up 37-34. PSU scored a TD with 1:02 left to take the lead 41-37. WSU drove 70 yds off 6 plays in 36 seconds to win the game 44-41. PSU attempted a 65 yd FG and it was short.

It's like a smashmouth version of the 2007 game.

This type of thing isn't too surprising given that we saw two decent rushing attacks up against two lousy run defenses.

Agreed. Was a fun game to watch. Best Ive seen this year. The only reason it wasn't 73-68...no turnovers. :lol:

Just another example of what is becoming a typical Weber/PSU football game. :thumb:

I thought the term "smashmouth" implies that there was some defense played.

Compared to the 2007 game, a 73 to 68 win for Weber, it was a defense game.

I called this game saying if WSU has 0-2 to's its a win. I think I can say that about any game on our schedule though. The 44 points were so easy to score when we weren't turning it over like crazy.

Not counting the score this was a typically thrilling and satisfying PSU-WSU game. Fantastic! :nod:

Of course, the score was quite all right with me! :mrgreen:
