POCATELLO — The Idaho State Bengals will play their final game of the 2025 season on Saturday, and a great deal will be on the line.
ISU (5-6, 4-3) has a chance to finish with a .500 or better record for the first time since 2018, the same year the Bengals posted their last winning record in conference play. They went 6-5, 5-3 under head coach Rob Phenicie that year, and with a win would finish the 2025 campaign with a 6-6, 5-3 record under current head coach Cody Hawkins. But more than that, a win would be the first over the in-state rival University of Idaho Vandals (4-6, 2-5) in five years.
