POCATELLO, Idaho (Interstat) — Two teams with identical records and potent offenses will meet Saturday when Cal Poly visits Idaho State in a Big Sky Conference matchup at the ICCU Dome.

Both the Mustangs (3-6) and Bengals (3-6) are looking to build on narrow results from last Saturday. Cal Poly fell 40-35 to Portland State, while Idaho State earned a 38-36 road victory over UC Davis.

The Mustangs’ offense is led by quarterback Ty Dieffenbach, who accounted for three touchdowns in the loss, passing for 207 yards and a score while rushing for 64 yards and two more touchdowns. Wide receiver Michael Briscoe added four receptions for 81 yards.

Idaho State’s upset of UC Davis was powered by a dynamic performance from linebacker Dason Brooks, who rushed for 219 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. Quarterback Jordan Cooke complemented the ground game, throwing for 252 yards and two scores.

Cal Poly has lost four of its last five games. Idaho State has split its last two contests after a four-game losing streak.

According to a projection from Interstat, this contest is expected to be a high-scoring affair, with the simulator predicting a 41-40 victory for Cal Poly.

Following this game, Cal Poly travels to Northern Arizona on Nov. 15. Idaho State will host Weber State on the same date.
