The Idaho State University football team took on Eastern Washington University for its second home game of the season at Holt Arena in Pocatello on Saturday, Mar. 13, with ISU taking a loss with a final score of 42-46. Previously the Bengals lost their first game of the season, also a home game, against the Weber State Wildcats on Saturday, February 27 under the familiar lights of the Holt Arena.  In the second game of the season, ISU beat the Southern Utah University Thunderbirds when they played in Cedar City on Saturday, Mar. 6, with a final winning score of 26-24.

As things sit now, Idaho State has a 1-2 score for the season in both overall and Big Sky play. The Bengals have three games left this season to make up for their previous two losses, with a chance to add to the single season victory so far. The last chance for ISU football fans to catch a home game at the Holt Arena this season will be on Saturday, April 3 at 4 p.m., with the Bengals playing their northern rivals, the University of Idaho Vandals. The Bengals will finish out the Big Sky season against Weber State, taking on the Wildcats for the second time this season.
