  Bronson Barron threw a pair of touchdowns - both to Ty MacPherson - and FCS-level Weber State walloped FBS-member Utah State 35-7 on Saturday. Barron threw for 202 yards and was intercepted three times. The Wildcats' defense, however, made up for the turnovers securing four interceptions with three coming on Aggies' quarterback Logan Bonner and one of backup Cooper Legas. Desmond Wilson's 33-yard pick-6 gave Weber State (2-0) a 28-7 lead with 2:43 left in the third quarter.

Weber State took the lead for the remainder when Josh Davis scored on a 17-yard touchdown run. - AP College Football

  Kris Jackson ran for three touchdowns and Weber State converted four times on fourth down to shock Eastern Washington, which missed an extra point with 2:51 remaining, 35-34 on Saturday. After the Eagles, ranked second in the FCS coaches poll, converted a turnover into a touchdown with Dennis Merritt's second touchdown run, a high snap led to Seth Harrison's extra point missing to the left. Backup quarterback Randall Johnson busted loose for a 14-yard run and Dave Jones got free for another 32 to allow Weber State, which won the last four Big Sky Conference titles, to run out the clock and stun the homecoming crowd. EWU had won 20 straight at home.

After Johnson's last touchdown, with 8:43 to play, Weber got what proved to be the winning points on a 2-point conversion. The Wildcats (3-4, 2-2), who lost to three top-12 FCS teams and Utah, piled up 482 yards despite losing quarterback Bronson Barron after he threw for 226 through three quarters. Jackson ran for 93 yards and Jones 69 as Weber wore down EWU by holding the ball 10 1/2 minutes longer. Eastern Washington (7-1, 4-1) had 434 yards, but that was almost 200 below its nation-leading average (628.1). Eric Barriere threw for 245 yards, 201 below his average, and ran for 85, which gave him the conference career record for total offense (13,558 yards). Barriere ran for two touchdowns and threw for one but lost for the first time at home in 17 starts. - Weber State/AP College Football

  Justin Miller threw four touchdown passes and Karris Davis scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:34 remaining as FCS-member Southern Utah defeated Tarleton State 40-35 on Saturday night.

After an exchange of punts, Southern Utah drove 54 yards for Davis' game-winning TD. An interception by La'akea Kaho'Ohanohano-Davis helped seal the win for the Thunderbirds.

The score was tied at 28 at halftime before SUU took the lead 34-28 on a 6-yard run by David Moore III late in the third quarter.
