Greatest Moments in Weber State Football History

Weber State became a four-year college in 1962 and does not have a long history of playing football.  The 1970s were rough where WSU had only one winning season, but both of their victories against the the higher division of college football came in that decade.  Both are listed here.

5.  September 18, 1971.  Weber State wins their first game against a team from the higher division (Currently FBS, then the University Division) by beating North Texas 20-0 in Ogden.

4.  November 6, 1965.  Weber State beats Idaho 14-7 to win their first Big Sky Conference Championship. 

3.  October 4, 2008.  Weber State ends years of frustration against Montana 45-28.  Eventually, WSU would win the conference championship but lose to Montana in the NCAA quarterfinals.

2.  November 11, 1978.  The Wildcats get their only victory against one of the "Big 3" by beating Utah State in Logan 44-25.

1. November 28, 1987.  Weber State avenges their only I-AA loss of the regular season by beating Big Sky Conference Champion Idaho in Moscow 59-30.  This was Weber State's first-ever post-season game.
