The Mocs claimed their third consecutive FCS playoff berth with an 8-3 regular-season record, while Weber State finished 7-4 for their best record since 2009. They were 6-2 in the Big Sky Conference.
The Wildcats are led offensively by quarterback Jadrian Clark, who threw for 2,823 yards and 22 touchdowns. Four receivers have at least 35 catches, led by Andrew Vollert's 57 for 757 yards and six touchdowns.
