The Bengals came close to beating their Aggie opponents in Saturdays’ game at UC Davis, with the Aggies taking their pivotal win over ISU in the fourth quarter with a touchdown at just eight seconds left on the clock. With a close score throughout the game, Idaho State gained a winning streak of 27-24 with 3:47 left in the fourth quarter. The Bengals lost this ground they had gained over the Aggies, taking home a loss at a final score of 27-31. ISU has never won a game against UC Davis, but this time they came objectively closer to a victory against the Aggies than they ever had previously.

With Saturday’s loss added to the record, the Bengals are looking at season score of 1-3 in Big Sky play so far. The Idaho State football team will play its last home game of the season at 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 3, at the Holt Arena in Pocatello. This will be a part of the Battle of the Domes series played against the University of Idaho, and the last chance Bengals fans can catch a game in-person this season.
