Weber State Season in Review

It was not much of a season for the Wildcats, a lot of negative things happened in the off-season.  Because it was not a total disaster, the 'Cats still won twice, Jody Sears will get another season as the head football coach at Weber State.  Actually, he signed a 3-year contract, but offensive coordinator Matt Hammer has been replaced by former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Timm Rosenbach.  Rosenbach and Sears were college teammates at Washington State.

The Offense was inconsistent at best and anemic at times until the last two games of the season, it was against Northern Colorado that the defense fell down and wasted the only good game that quarterback Mike Hoke had all season.  The running game only came together in the last game of the season against Idaho State.

MVP for 2012: LB Anthony Morales

Best moment of the season: Southern Utah

Worst moment of the season: Everything that happened after Spring Practice concluded and before the first kickoff.

Do over moment of the season: the final drive vs. Eastern Washington.

Best returning player from on Offense: RB Bo Bolen, WR Xavian Johnson

That is as far as I will go for this very forgettable football season.  But there are some other things to look forward to.  Anthony Morales should be back next year to anchor the defense and Bo Bolen will return from his LDS mission to give the Wildcats some punch out of the backfield.  Hopefully the offensive line will be improved and help the new quarterback, whoever gets the job, succeed.  Xavian Johnson should provide a nice target.

In 2013, the NCAA allows FCS teams the option to play a 12th game and WSU will indeed play a 12th game in 2013.  The bad news is that there are 7 road games, 2 against Utah and Utah State.  Only 2 of the first 7 are at home.  Hopefully, things will improve when WSU kicks off against Stephen F. Austin for a rare August home game.
