Southern Utah, Weber State and Northern Arizona will all play for at least a piece of the Big Sky Conference football championship on Saturday.
The No. 9 Wildcats, No. 18 Thunderbirds and No. 23 Lumberjacks are all tied at the top of the Big Sky standings with 6-1 conference records entering the final weekend of the regular season.

Southern Utah hosts Northern Arizona, while the Wildcats entertain Idaho State in Ogden. If the T-Birds and ‘Cats both win, they will share the BSC title. If Weber and NAU both win, they will be conference co-champs. If heavily favored Weber loses to Idaho State, the winner of the SUU-NAU game will be the Big Sky champ.
Weber State (8-2) has its eyes set on not only the league title but a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the second straight season. The Thunderbirds (8-2) are one win away from winning their second conference title in the last three years, while NAU (7-3) is gunning for its first BSC championship since 2003.
Weber fell to SUU 32-16 in Ogden last month. The Wildcats do not play the Lumberjacks this season.
