The match featured the Weber offense against the Weber defense. The game would start 20 minutes late due to a lightning delay. Once the lightning ended though, it was the defense that struck down Weber offense. The defense picked Weber's QB's four times, two coming from redshirt freshman Roman Venezuela. The offense would score four touchdowns against Weber's D over roughly 110-plays, but it was the defense that controlled the game according to the coaches.http://www.weberstatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=99543&SPID=3468&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=8600&ATCLID=205413928 Defense leads in Purple and White game Weberstatesports.com April 14, 2012 Schedule 2012 NCAA Division I FCS The Sports Network Mountain September 1 8:00 pm l y y Fresno State Bulldog Stadium Fresno, CA http://www.gobulldogs.com/allaccess/?media=330043 CBS ULive 10–37 27,663 September 8 1:00 pm l y y BYU LaVell Edwards Stadium Provo, UT BYUtvhttp://fox13now.com/2012/05/16/byu-announces-2012-football-schedule/ BYU announces changes to 2012 football schedule Fox 13 Salt Lake City May 16, 2012 13–45 60,314 September 15 6:00 pm l y McNeese State 19 Stewart Stadium Ogden, UT Big Sky TV 21–35 9,617 September 22 6:00 pm l Eastern Washington 9 Stewart Stadium Ogden, UT Big Sky TV 26–32 9,434 September 29 7:00 pm l y UC Davis Aggie Stadium Davis, CA Big Sky TV 13–37 7,569 October 5 6:00 pm l Cal Poly 20 Stewart Stadium Ogden, UT Big Sky TV 23–45 5,939 October 13 7:00 pm l y Sacramento State Hornet Stadium Sacramento, CA Big Sky TV 14–19 12,106 October 20 1:00 pm w y Southern Utah Eccles Coliseum Cedar City, UT Big Sky TV 24–22 3,811 November 3 1:30 pm l Montana Stewart Stadium Ogden, UT RTUThttp://rockymountain.rootsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=25930&ATCLID=205411480 DIRECTV Sports Networks and Big Sky Conference Announce Inaugural 2012 Football Schedule on ROOT SPORTS Rootsports.com April 10, 2012 21–24 7,251 November 10 1:30 pm l Northern Colorado Stewart Stadium Ogden, UT Big Sky TV 34–42 4,837 November 17 4:00 pm w y Idaho State Holt Arena Pocatello, ID Big Sky TV 40–14 5,125 Game summaries Fresno State 2012 Fresno State Bulldogs football team Weber State at Fresno State Wildcats 0 3 7 0 Bulldogs 14 10 0 13 September 1 Bulldog StadiumFresno, CA 8:08 PM MST 2:54 27,663 84 °F °C on, Fair, winds WNW at 8mph Eddy Shelton Sources: To open the season Weber faces another team with a new coaching staff.
