Arizona Vs Weber St 🏈 Game Preview/Discussion Thread 9/6/25 7pm ESPN+

Arizona Wildcats Set to Host Weber State in FCS Tune-Up. As the Arizona Wildcats football team prepares for their second game of the 2025 season on September 6 at Arizona Stadium, they face a familiar FCS challenge in the Weber State Wildcats from the Big Sky Conference. This marks the first-ever meeting between the two teams, both nicknamed "Wildcats," with Arizona entering as heavy favorites following a strong opening-week performance against Hawaii. Last season, Arizona struggled to a 4-8 record overall and 2-7 in the Big 12, hampered by defensive woes that allowed an average of 175.3 rushing yards per game and 31.8 points per contest. Offensively, they ranked second-to-last in the conference with just 21.8 points per game, but returning quarterback Noah Fifita brings continuity with 67% returning production on offense. Weber State, meanwhile, opened their campaign with a 45-10 loss to James Madison, surrendering over 300 rushing yards in a $300,000 payout game, before heading to Tucson for a $625,000 matchup. The visitors finished 4-8 in 2024 and feature a young squad led by new quarterback Jackson Gilkey, who gained valuable experience in the opener.

Experts anticipate a lopsided affair, with Arizona poised to build momentum ahead of a tough Big 12 slate. Jared Miller of Underdog Dynasty previewed the game, stating, "I don't see a world in which Weber State goes into Arizona and comes out with a win on Saturday... Give me Arizona by a comfortable 49-17." He highlighted Weber's inexperience, noting the team is "too young, too inexperienced and [has] simply not had enough time yet to gel together as a team," though praised individual talents like speedy receiver Jayleen Record, the leading returner in receiving yards, and all-conference offensive lineman Gavin Ortega, who allowed zero sacks in 888 snaps last year. For Arizona, the focus is on improving their run defense after allowing 200+ rushing yards in five games last season, while leveraging their passing attack. Betting trends favor the under in Arizona's September games (5 of last 5) and show Weber State at 5-0 ATS in September contests, but the Wildcats' home dominance against Big Sky foes (5-1 SU in last 6) suggests a decisive victory to boost bowl eligibility hopes in a wide-open Big 12.
