Joshon Barbie runs for 3 TDs as McNeese beat Weber State 28-26
OGDEN, Utah -- — Joshon Barbie ran for three touchdowns, quarterback Clifton McDowell III added 109 yards rushing and a TD on 15 carries and McNeese beat Weber State 28-25 Saturday night for its third win in a row.
Barbie finished with 70 yards rushing on 13 carries and McDowell was 14-of-27 passing for 203 yards for McNeese (4-2).
Barbie, who opened the scoring with a 25-yard run about 4 1/2 minutes into the game, ran for a 3-yard touchdown late in the third quarter and, after the Wildcats went three-and-out, followed with a TD from 9-yards out to make it 28-20 with 10:33 to play.
Damon Bankston answered with a 1-yard touchdown run a little more that 2 minutes later but 2-point conversion attempt was no good and Weber State trailed 28-26.
The Wildcats had a first-and-10 from the McNeese 38 with about 3 minutes to play but, after a holding penalty, Weber State couldn't convert a fourth-and-12 and McNeese ran out the clock.
Bankston finished with 21 carries for 140 yards and two touchdowns for Weber State (2-3).
