Show FOOTBALL Weber State College football moved into the big time during the fall quarter with the birth of the Big Sky-Athletic Conference. The 1963 Wildcats, playing their toughest schedule in history, came up with a winning 6-3 season. In the Big Sky Conference, Weber tied for second place. Weber had been picked to finish last. The Wildcats displayed experience, speed, and size. Twenty-one lettermen, seven junior college transfers, and eight sophomores with varsity experience returned, along with several other 1962 squad members. Weber placed three players on the first Big All-Conference. First team honors went to Frank Bentley, fullback; Ron Trussell, tackle; and Lynn Corbridge, end. Corbridge was the league's leading pass receiver, and a unanimous choice by the league's coaches to the first team. Gary Hansen, guard, and Dick Pruitt, half back, made the second team selection. Honorable mention went to Terry Van Fleet, end; Jim Hassell, tackle; and Frank Kaaa, Half back. Quarterback Lynn Smith lead the Big Sky Conference in passing and total offense.
