Weber State Football Game Day Special: WSU v. Cal-Poly SLO

“The past does not equal the future,” says Weber State Coach Sears, "knockin' on wood"

Our indefatigable WSU Wildcats football squad (1-5, 0-2 Big Sky) hits the road again and travels west to San Luis Obispo, California this evening, for tonight's gridiron battle with Cal Poly Mustangs (2-3, 1-0). Kickoff's set for 7:00 p.m. (MT) at Alex G. Spanos Stadium.

We've gathered up the pre-game stories from the Standard-Examiner and the San Luis Obispo Tribune:

• Wildcats must stop Cal Poly's options
• Walsh confident in Graves as Cal Poly football team set to host Weber State

I looks like the 'Cats still have their work cut out for them again tonight, if we're to believe the Vegas line and odds, which have the 'Cats installed as 28-point underdogs:

The good news?  Weber State "gets more help" tonight, "with senior center Tyson Tiatia and senior kicker Shaun McClain [having been] reinstated this week after a six-game academic suspension. Both will return to starting roles," according the this earler Standard-Examiner story:

• Weber State reinstates two football players to playing field

Can the Wildcats pull a rabbit outta their hats tonight and finally put a win in their big Sky Conference record column?  “The past does not equal the future,” says Weber State Coach Sears, "knockin' on wood."

Looks like the 2013 team is destined for the record books.
