The Weber State Wildcats are back on the road today in Provo, where they're presented with a rare opportunity to prove themselves against powerful potential in-state rival BYU.  Kickoff's set for 1:00 at Edwards Stadium, Wildcats fans.

While some so-called experts might suggest that WSU may be playing the role of the sacrificial lamb this afternoon, we're not buying that. This end of week could be already shaping up as a weekend of local upsets, as we see it; so we'll be keeping our fingers crossed that our fired-up WSU Wildcats will follow USU's lead, and possibly catch an over-confident Cougar team flat-footed.

Go Wildcats!
