Bobcat gridders play only home game in six-week span vs. ancient rival
With back-to-back weeks in Superior California in its rear view mirror, the Bobcat football team looks forward to its only October home game this weekend. Saturday's contest brings together a pair of explosive offenses. The fourth- and fifth-ranked passers in the Big Sky square off in Bobcat Stadium, but Bobcat star Dakota Prukop and Weber State's Billy Green - a pair of sophomore signal callers - have driven their respective offenses. Green throws for 247.3 yards a game and completes 60% of his passes. Prukop has engineered an MSU offense that has posted back-to-back 600-yard games for the first time in school history. MSU's 517.9 yards a game is third in the Big Sky.
