Weber State’s Tim Toone received some honors on Monday following his spectacular performance on Saturday.

Toone returned a punt 90 yards to give the Wildcats a 13-9 lead in the third quarter over Northern Arizona. WSU eventually won the game 27-9, and because of Toone’s game changing play he was named both the Big Sky Conference special teams player of the week and The Sports Network’s FCS nation special teams player of the week.

Weber State head football coach Ron McBride said he prayed for snow for the Wildcats’ game on Saturday against Northern Arizona. He sure got his wish as WSU defeated the Lumberjacks 27-9 during a snowstorm at Stewart Stadium.

Tim Toone’s 90-yard punt return for a touchdown, which gave WSU a 13-9 lead in the third quarter, was the difference.

“They kicked it, I caught it and made one move and it opened up again,” said Toone. “I was running and everyone was blocking.”

Greetings from a snowy Stewart Stadium. That’s right, the snow is coming down hard as the Weber State Wildcats and Northern Arizona Lumberjacks are warming up on the field for today’s game, which starts at noon.

But the field crew is working the hardest, trying to shovel of the snow on the sidelines and the end zone. Hopefully they’ll get the lines on the field as well, or else it’s going to be a little difficult to tell where the ball is at the start of each play.

It’s days like this that I’m glad I have a seat in the press box, although for some reason the air conditioning is on here. Hopefully that gets fixed as well.

Just two days until Weber State opens the college basketball season, and we all know what that means.

It’s time to start looking at the projected brackets for the NCAA tournament in March.

Weber State didn’t look like the typical Wildcats in Saturday’s 31-10 loss at Montana.’

The No. 14-ranked Wildcats got beat in every aspect of the game and now No. 2-ranked Montana is the only team in control of the Big Sky Conference.

Greetings from Missoula, Mont., where everyone I’ve seen has either been wearing purple or maroon.

It’s just less than 90 minutes before kickoff of the much-anticipated game between No. 14. Weber State (purple) and No. 2 Montana (maroon). The winner will likely earn the Big Sky Conference’s automatic spot in the FCS playoffs, although Northern Arizona and Montana State may have some say in the whole thing.

A quick injury update:

Weber State defeated Northern Colorado 28-20 on Saturday in a game that saw WSU role players take on bigger roles.

Bo Bolen started in place of senior Trevyn Smith, who was suspended for a violation of team rules, and ran for 207 yards and a touchdown while receiver Joe Collins had nine catches for 80 yards, including a pair of touchdowns.

Weber State running back Trevyn Smith has been suspended for the first half for today’s game at Northern Colorado. The senior reportedly was in violation of team rules for missing a team meeting on Friday night in Greeley.

Smith will be eligible to play in the second half.

This means freshman Bo Bolen will have the opportunity to shine in front of several family members and friends. Bolen, who is from nearby Aurora, Colo. (also the hometown of yours truly), will get the start and if he plays well in the first half then he will likely continue to get the ball in the second half, even if Smith is allowed to play.
