Game Notes: Idaho State at #24 Northern Arizona

Pocatello, ID --- Idaho State University's football team will look for their first win of the season in the most unlikely of places, at Northern Arizona, where the Bengals haven't won since 1984, as ISU takes on the #24 Lumberjacks at 4:05 pm Mountain Time in a game being broadcast on Dish Network 9411.

The Bengals enter the game at 0-7, and have gone 0-11 in Flagstaff since last winning in 1984. Still, that won't deter ISU, which is looking to rebound after a 30-7 loss to the Northern Colorado Bears on Hall of Fame Day at Holt Arena last week.

Lost in that game was a superb effort by punter Jon Vanderwielen, who averaged 50.0 yards per punt, with a 47.2 net, including a 53-yard punt that was downed at the 1-yard line.

NAU is 4-2 on the season and 3-1 in the Big Sky, their only loss in overtime at home against Montana 41-34

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) and Twin Falls (KTFI AM 1270 AM), with Jerry Miller bringing all the action, and Asst.
