That much was clear when, at halftime, Weber State had run 49 offensive plays for 405 yards.

But here are some, at least.

Weber State’s 703 yards finished as the sixth-most yards in a game in program history. It’s the highest offensive output since WSU had 687 yards in the famed 2007 shootout of 73-68 against Portland State.

Fifth-year receiver Marvin Session came close to an all-time night. In the fourth quarter, he appeared to have, at least maybe, hauled in a reception of 30-plus yards in the middle of the field. He and the defender lay each grasping the ball for at least 10 seconds before referees separated them and ultimately ruled Nate Dahle’s pass incomplete.

If completed, that play would have made Session the first receiver with 200-plus receiving yards since Jon Jefferson’s 208 in 2000. As is, Session finished with five catches for 175 yards and three touchdowns. That’s the most yards in a game since Cameron Livingston hauled in 175 yards (on 10 catches) in a 2014 loss at Sacramento State.

It’s the first three-TD game for a WSU receiver since Jacob Sharp (2003, at Cal Poly).

Session’s 80-yard touchdown reception just before halftime was Weber State’s longest passing play since Stefan Cantwell threw an 81-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Smith in WSU’s 2017 playoff game at James Madison.

Since Noah Kjar had nine catches for 137 yards, it was WSU’s first game with two 100-yard receivers since Sharp (152) and Jayleen Record (105) in 2024 at Montana (which was the first in quite some time WSU had recorded that feat).

Dahle, the freshman, finished 15 of 27 for 338 yards and five touchdowns (and two interceptions) despite playing just 2.5 quarters. It’s WSU’s first five-TD QB performance since Richie Muñoz threw six at Montana in 2024.

Those 338 yards also gave Dahle the most passing yards for a WSU QB since Muñoz threw for 364 in that same 2024 game. WSU passed for 488 yards on Saturday but given the Wildcats left two drives inside the PSU 5 and had two QBs splitting the stats, a few more superlatives were probably left on the table.

It wasn’t all good notables, obviously, in the loss.

Zui Shelton’s 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was the first kick-return TD Weber State has surrendered since Montana’s Malik Flowers went 100 yards in a 24-21 WSU home win in 2022.

PSU’s Delon Thompson also rushed for 213 yards and three touchdowns.

Outgaining a team 703-409 should spell victory. Thompson broke big runs and his 11-yarder with 2 seconds left was a backbreaker, helping PSU attempt a 41-yard field goal instead of something from 50-plus.

But, of Weber State’s six turnovers, five of them resulted in Portland State starting possessions in WSU territory. The Vikings had fields of 18, 33, 42, 45 and 47 yards after Weber turnovers; PSU scored two touchdowns and kicked one field goal on those drives, while WSU got two stops (one forced fumble, one punt).

“I think especially since we put them in some tough spots … I like their effort and the way they’re doing things,” Eric Kjar said. “I would like us to reduce the amount of big plays and then, just being better against the run. That’s always going to be a big piece where we need to continue to improve.

“They were (at 6.4) yards a carry, too. I’m sure Gavin (Fowler) and our defensive staff feel the same way, to grow and play better that way,” Kjar continued. “Obviously, we need to put them, on the offensive side, in better spots. We gave them some short fields … situationally, I thought they played really good at times.”
