The Weber State Wildcats had a huge victory over the Idaho State Bengals on Saturday night, with quarterback Jake Munoz leading the way. Munoz threw for three touchdowns in the 33-21 win, helping the Wildcats to their fourth consecutive win.
Munoz was efficient all night, completing 19 of his 26 passes for a total of 242 yards. He also added a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. His three touchdown passes were spread out among three different receivers, including two to tight end Andrew Vollert and one to wide receiver Rashid Shaheed.
The Wildcats’ defense also played a key role in the victory, holding the Bengals to just seven points in the first half. They also forced two turnovers, including an interception by safety Trevon Johnson in the third quarter. The Wildcats’ defense has been solid all season, and they have allowed just 16.4 points per game, which is good for second in the Big Sky Conference.
The win was especially sweet for the Wildcats, as they have now won four straight games after starting the season 0-3. It was also the first time this season that they have scored more than 30 points in a game. The victory was also a big one for Munoz, who has been a leader for the Wildcats all season. He now has 14 touchdown passes on the season, which is tied for second in the Big Sky Conference.
The Wildcats will look to continue their winning streak next week when they take on Montana State. With Munoz leading the way, they will be looking to keep their momentum going and make a run at the Big Sky title.
