Phil Steele, one of the more accurate college football prognosticators, says turnover margin is the greatest indicator of success in the game. It has certainly been a key indicator for Idaho State this season. The Bengals are plus 12 this season on TO margin. Interestingly, Cal Poly has given up only 6 turnovers all season.-- three fumbles and three picks. TOs will be a key to Saturday's matchup between these two teams. Should be a great matchup.

Cal Poly: turnovers tell the tale

Like Skippy said, turnovers are key to any game. Cal Poly has the best rushing offense in the Big Sky. Will the Bengals be able to slow down the Mustang rushing attack? ISU has the best total offense in the Big Sky. Will the Mustangs be able to slow the Bengal passing attack and rushing attack?

I will be pulling for the Bengals to win but the Mustangs will most likely be favored. Why will the Mustangs be favored to win? The Mustangs won against TOP RANKED FCS POLL teams in Montana and Montana State in back to back games while the Bengals have only won against non-ranked teams this season thus far. I hope the Bengals get the turnovers needed and play their best game of the season.
Game day. Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!
Should be a great game with Big Sky Championship implications. Who would of thought that two or three games into this season. My hat is off to both teams. May the best team win in a well played game and that it is an injury free game on both sides. Win or lose best of luck to ISU the rest of the season.

It's interesting though that Mike said in his press conference when asked that he doesn't think turnovers will be an issue Saturday because both teams have so many offensive series. He jokingly (well maybe jokingly) said this is one of those games "where you could see 15 or 17 touchdowns scored..."
He also said he'll consider the game a success defensively if they can "hold Cal Poly to 50."

IMO, ISU in the top 25 next week is not guaranteed.
Here's the case for ISU:
5-1 against FCS
1-1 against top 5 of BSC
Only FCS loss to EWU (by 3) with Vernon Adams
Victories over Cal Poly (6-4) and Sac State (5-5)
Have not played ANY of the BSC bottom 3 (UC Davis, Weber, UND)
Ultimately, the two FBS losses. the two D2 wins and ISU's reputation will continue to haunt.
