Game Notes: Idaho State hosting #17 Northern Arizona

Terrific Tailgate IV Entry Form

Pocatello, ID --- Idaho State University's football team hosts #17 Northern Arizona on Saturday night at 6:35 pm in ISU's 67th annual Homecoming game at Holt Arena, capping off a week of festivities on ISU's campus.

The game is the featured attraction, and it will see John Zamberlin's depleted Bengals going for their first win of the season, but it will have to come at the expense of the nation's top rushing defense. The Lumberjacks (5-1) have allowed just 43 yards rushing all season, as average of 7.2 yards per game.

Idaho State will be happy to be home just for the dome factor, after losing in Greeley 29-9 to Northern Colorado in a game that saw ISU throw four interceptions, commit four fumbles (losing one), and having two snaps botched, one on a punt, and one on a field goal.

The game will be available on The Bengal Radio Network, which is flagshipped at ESPN Radio 930 AM KSEI in Pocatello and KRXK 1230 AM in Idaho Falls. The Bengal Radio Network also contains stations in Idaho Falls (KGTM 98.1 FM), Twin Falls (KTFI AM 1270 AM), Boise (KCID AM 1490 AM), and the newest member of the network, Soda Springs (KITT FM 100.1). Fans inside Holt Arena can listen to the broadcast on a special stadium signal of 101.9 FM, or a station close to that. The game is also available on Big Sky TV.

The game culminates a host of Homecoming Week activities, and prior to the game is ISU's Terrific Tailgate IV, where fans can register prior to the game (registration is available at the top of this page) and win prizes in one of six categories.
