OGDEN (AP) — Stefan Cantwell threw for three touchdowns and Treshawn Garrett scored on a 98-yard run to help Weber State beat UC Davis 41-3 on Saturday night.
Cantwell was 7-of-11 passing for 205 yards, Rashid Shaheed had three receptions for 163 yards — including a 67-yard touchdown — and Xequille Harry scored on an 84-yard punt return for Weber State (3-1). Garrett finished with 10 carries for 122 yards.
"I was really proud of the guys in all three phases; it was a good showing on offense, defense and special teams," Weber State coach Jay Hill said. "I thought they fought, they clawed, they dug. It wasn't always pretty, but the defense bent at times, but never broke — and that is a very talented football teams."
Shaheed's touchdown made it 7-3, after Trey Tuttle hit a 23-yard field goal, Garrett broke off the longest run play in Weber State history to make it 17-3 with 2:03 left in the first quarter. Harry caught a punt at the 16, jumped back and evaded three would-be tacklers as he slipped up the left sideline before cutting inside and racing for the score with 3:55 left in the half and Andrew Vollert's 17-yard touchdown catch gave the Wildcats a 31-3 lead at the break.
Jake Maier was 26-of-43 for 327 yards passing for UC Davis (2-2), but threw two interceptions. The Aggies had just 13 yards rushing.
