OGDEN, Utah (AP) — Spencer Ferguson rushed for 133 yards and the go-ahead touchdown with 1:10 remaining to rally Weber State to a 27-20 victory over Idaho State on Saturday.
The junior rushed 16 times, scoring on a 2-yard run to give Weber State (5-3, 4-1 Big Sky Conference) a 25-20 lead. Nate Dahle passed to a wide-open Noah Kjar for two points to set the final margin.
Idaho State (4-3, 1-3), ranked 21st in the Stats Perform FCS poll, got as far as the Wildcats’ 16-yard line before Davis Harsin was sacked on a fourth-down pass.
Dahle completed 18 of 33 passes for 173 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Trehsyn Fesili picked off Dahle and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown to give Idaho State a 7-0 lead.
Robert Young returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown with 16 seconds left, but the two-point try failed and Weber State trailed 7-6 after one quarter.
Harsin fired a 32-yard touchdown pass to Julian Mason for the only points in the second quarter and the Bengals led 14-6 lead at halftime.
Weber State took a 19-14 lead with touchdowns on their first two drives of the third quarter. Seth Rigtrup ended the first drive with a 2-yard run and Dahle threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Kjar for the second score.
Idaho State answered with backup Jordan Cooke’s 18-yard scoring toss to Parker Graham, but the two-point attempt failed and the Bengals took a one-point lead into the fourth quarter.
Harsin totaled 145 yards on 14-for-27 passing and Cooke finished 5 for 9 for 53 with both throwing an interception. Harsin led the Bengals with 83 yards on 20 rushes.
