I won't predict a score, but I think this will be a great test for Idaho State in a number of areas:
--Portland State has a very physical defense that held ISU's offense to about 130 yards under its average last year, and did a very good job against Wazzu's passing attack last week. PSU's press coverage will challenge the Bengal receivers to get open, and it will challenge Michael Sanders to read the defense and get the ball out more quickly.
--ISU's special teams played better last week, but they are still a work in progress. Close games are often determined by a special teams play or two.
--As discussed previously, the defense must find a way to get off the field vs the very physical running game of PSU's.
In summary: I think it will be a close game that will tell us a lot about the two biggest question marks surrounding this season: QB and whether, and how much the Bengal defense has improved.
