Weber State shuts down Montana in Big Sky showdown 24-21

OGDEN, Utah (AP) — Bronson Barron threw two touchdown passes and Weber State drained the final 5:43 off the clock to hold off Montana 24-21. The Wildcats, ranked seventh in the FCS coaches poll, took a 24-13 lead on Barron’s second TD pass, a 12-yarder to Hayden Meacham with 5:56 to play. But Malik Flowers took the ensuing kickoff 100 yards and the Grizzlies, who have lost three straight and dropped to 10th in the rankings, used a trick play for the 2-point conversion to pull within a field goal. Weber State then pounded the ball on the Grizzlies and clinched the game by converting a fourth-and-1 just outside the Montana 40.
