CHUBBUCK -- It was six-man football in its most unusual form Friday as the Idaho State Bengals were swamped by the Panthers.

EXCELLENT WORK with the youngsters. I hope some of them went to the UNC game today and pestered their families to take them. Good effort providing positive interaction with the community and with the future fans of all ISU sports. The kids will long remember the visit by the ISU ball players! This is exactly the kind of thing the ISU athletic department needs to do and publicize. GOOD WORK BENGALS!
