Wildcats and Montana in national showdown Saturday
11/11/2019 11:48:00 AM | Football
It's a top 5 national and Big Sky Conference showdown as No. 3 Weber State heads to No. 4 Montana Saturday afternoon in Missoula.Â
The Wildcats remain third in the nation in this week's national polls. Weber State improved to 8-2 overall and 6-0 in Big Sky play following Saturday's comeback win over North Dakota. WSU has won seven-straight games, tied for the third-longest winning streak in school history.Â
The Wildcats are 6-0 in Big Sky play for just the second time in school history and a win Saturday would clinch at least a share of the conference title for the third-straight season.Â
Weber State has now been ranked in the top 10 in the nation for a school-record 19-straight weeks and 22 of the last 23 weeks. WSU has been nationally ranked in at least one poll every week since November 2016, a streak of 41-straight weeks. The Wildcats have also won 13-straight games and 25 of their last 27 games against Big Sky opponents.Â
Montana is 8-2 overall and 5-1 in conference play. The Grizzlies have won three-straight following Saturday's 42-17 win over Idaho. Montana is ranked fourth in the nation in the AFCA Coaches poll and fifth in the STATS FCS media poll. Â
This will be the highest-ranked matchup in school history and the first time Weber State has been in the top five in the country and faced another top-five team. This is the fourth-straight week the Wildcats will face a nationally-ranked opponent.Â
It will be Weber State's first visit to Missoula since October 2015 when the Wildcats defeated the Grizzlies in overtime.
Saturday's game will kickoff at 1 p.m. at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula. The game will be televised on AT&T Sports Net Rocky Mountain, ROOT Sports Northwest and AT&T Sports Net Southwest, and nationally on the Audience Network Channel 239 on DirectTV. There will be no online steam of the game. Radio broadcast will be on 1430 KLO.Â
