Northern Colorado ended the 2021 football season against Weber State Saturday
It all started when Alec Lewis found Kassidy Woods for a 29-yard touchdown pass. The score put the Bears up 10-7.
On the ensuing kickoff, Ben Raybon kicked it straight off the WSU up man and recovered the kick. Two plays later the Wildcats reclaimed the lead with a pick-six.

The wildness didn't stop there as UNC took over the lead with a tip drill touchdown. Lewis' pass was tipped off a diving Woods hand but perfectly into the hands of Dylan Thomas who raced 63-yards for the score.

Thomas concluded his college career with four catches for 108 yards and one score.
Northern Colorado's defense made its fair share of plays Saturday too including a Jace Bobo recording his third interception of the season and recording a tackle for loss.
