Football Weber's Wildcats suffered their worst football season in seven years. They finished with a 2-6 mark, but four of those losses were at the hands of teams that were ranked in the country's top twenty. Graduation left the Wildcat ranks thin and Coach Wally Nalder was faced with a year of rebuilding. The interior line and quarterback positions were left up to transfers and sophomores. The "Cats" were ambushed by Arizona State College 41-6 to start the season. They rallied to down Eastern Montana 20-0 and Southern Colorado State 19-14 for their only victories of the year. In the first conference game, Montana State's Grizzlies were victorious 20-12. Weber suffered a dry spell as they went scoreless for three games. They broke into pay dirt against Portland State but still lost 18-10.
