Why the Bengals?How did Idaho State’s athletic teams become the Bengals, when there just aren’t any

to be found in the region? A good question.Originally, when the school was the Academy of Idaho in 1902, the school’s athletic

teams were dubbed “Bantams”, and it stayed that way until 1917, when J.A. Fogt became head football coach. Now Idaho Tech, the team’s nickname was changed to “Tigers”, in part due to Ralph Hutchinson, who was the Director of Physical Education and Athletics. Hutchinson was a graduate of Princeton (the Tigers), so he founded the school’s first booster club, the “I” Club, and brought the “Tiger” mascot with him.

When the school became the University of Idaho-Southern Branch in 1927, the nickname switched to “Bengals”, although many newspaper and yearbook accounts refer to the team by both “Bengals” and “Tigers”. The freshman teams during this time suffered the unfortunate distinction of the nickname “Kittens”, or even worse, the “Kitties”.

As a branch of the University of Idaho, the school’s colors were black and gold, just like the Vandals, and although the official colors switched to black and orange sometime in the 1940s, the football team wore black jerseys with gold trim through the 1960s. The squad also used red numerals for awhile in the late 1940s, and Idaho State’s 1970 home jerseys were more red than orange. It wasn’t until 1971 that a truly orange jersey was used by the football team for the first time.

The school’s official colors are black and orange (PMS 165), and the trim color is gold (PMS 137), a small remembrance to harken back to ISU’s rich history.

ABOUT IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY

The Idaho Accelerator Center at ISU’s research park allows for researchers and national laboratories to utilize special

nuclear facilities.

The clock tower is one of the newer additions to the Pond

Student Union Building, which houses ISU’s official bookstore, several dining options, a game

room, a billiards hall, and a bowling alley.

The columns on Red Hill are a Pocatello landmark. They are atop of Red Hill, which overlooks Davis Field, which is

home to Idaho State’s track and soccer programs.

The newest addition to the campus is the Rendezvous Center, which houses apartment-style student housing, a dining hall, and classrooms, and the building is seen as a

bridge between the upper and lower campuses.

This view of the quad was taken from the Pond Student Union Building, and it showcases the beauty of both Idaho State and Pocatello. The trees located in the center of the picture are part of

ISU’s Arbor Walk, and the mountains that border Pocatello to the east majestically

watch over the campus.

Idaho State University is a Carnegie-classified doc-toral research and teach-ing institution that draws students from around the world. It meets the growing demand for higher-educa-tion services with seven col-leges—Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engi-neering, Health Professions, Pharmacy and Technolo-gy—and a graduate school. Together, they offer nearly 280 certificate, bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral and post-doctoral programs. ISU is the state-designated lead institution for health-profes-sions education.

Founded in 1901 as the Academy of Idaho, Idaho State University initially of-fered college-prep and in-dustrial courses. In its first 100 years, the school underwent

considerable growth and change. Forty students were enrolled in Pocatello in 1902; today, about 14,000 students attend classes at the main campus and at centers around the state. More than 2,000 graduate annually.

Idaho State University’s role in higher education has grown dramatically. In 1927, legislation was passed making it the Univer-sity of Idaho–Southern Branch. In 1963 it became Idaho State

University. At that time there were 3,500 students, four colleges offering six bachelor’s and eight master’s degrees, and a trade and technical school with 14 programs.

Current enrollment includes about 2,500 students attending ISU–Idaho Falls, and more than 2,500 attend-ing classes at ISU–Boise, ISU–Twin Falls, and centers in American Falls, Blackfoot, Coeur d’Alene, Hailey, Pres-ton and Soda Springs.

Located in Pocatello, ISU is a short distance from several prominent recreation areas, foremost among them Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, and Sun Valley. ISU students enjoy unrivaled outdoor activities, from skiing to backpacking, bicycling, river-running, and fishing in Idaho’s famous blue-ribbon trout streams.

The original campus consisted of a four-block area of 8 1/2 acres donated by the citizens of Po-catello. Today, ISU has 105 buildings and 1,103 acres. The university offers cultural events and athletic pro-

The Swanson Arch is one of the oldest pieces of architecture on campus. Incoming freshmen enter the campus through the arch, and they exit after graduation. The arch is also on the

official university seal for Idaho State.

The Stephens Performing Arts Center is the jewel of Southeast Idaho. Universally lauded for its design and acoustics, the building is the premiere concert

hall in Idaho.

The Marshall Rotunda of the Stephens Center features a mariner’s compass replete with engravings marking the major donors to the

facility.

grams featuring local, national and international participants.

Idaho State University has grown through five name changes: the Academy of Idaho, 1901-1915; Idaho Technical Institute, 1915-1927; University of Idaho-Southern Branch, 1927-1947; Idaho State College, 1946-1963.

ISU has an abundance of top-flight academic programs, including nationally acknowledged courses of study in business and pharmacy, and state-designated leadership in the health profes-sions.

The university has been ranked among the national leaders in the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) examinations for the past decade, with pass rates more than three times the national average. The statistics are based on students taking the exam for the first time.

As Idaho’s center for education in health professions and with supporting physical and biological sciences, Idaho State University offers degrees in dental hygiene, dietetics, health-care administration, nursing, radiographic science, and speech pathology and audiology. Also offered are master’s programs in education of the deaf, nursing, physical therapy, and speech pathology and audiol-ogy. A doctorate is available in clinical psychology.

ISU is a leader in educator preparation, offering bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in teacher education, educa-tional administration, family and consumer sciences, physical

education and dance, school psychology, special education, and vocational teacher education, occupational-training management, and corporate training.

Neighbor to the Idaho National Laboratory and home of Idaho’s first university-related business and research park, ISU has a continuing emphasis on business, engineering and the liberal arts, helping maintain a solid base for other academic disciplines.

Overall, ISU’s students take part in more than 280 certifi-cate and degree programs in the college of Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering, Health Professions, Pharmacy and Technology. If ISU doesn’t have exactly what a student is looking for, the Office of Individualized Education oversees programs that provide students the opportunity to “design” a degree in a field not formally available at ISU. Such students can earn Bachelor of University Studies, Bachelor of Arts in General Studies, or Bachelor of Applied Technology degrees.

At Idaho State University there are more than 30 different cultural organizations to help potential stu-dent-athletes adapt to college life.

Idaho State seeks to enrich every student’s educational experi-ence through exposure to different cultures, philosophies, and scholarly perspectives. This atmosphere of interchange and inquiry is fostered through programs that can take stu-dents around the globe or to a quiet corner on campus for a discussion with a new found friend offering a different point of view.

ACADEMIC SERVICES

Every academic institution’s first responsibility is to prepare its students for the best opportunity to graduate with their fullest potential. Idaho State un-derstands this responsibility very well and instituted the Student-Athlete Support Center for its student-athletes, to enable them to balance the time requirements for both academics and athletics with the ultimate goal of obtaining their degree.

Under the direction of Nancy Graziano, and as-sisted by a strong and caring staff, the Student-Athlete Support Center provides a variety of services with that in mind.

The center’s function begins even before a stu-dent-athlete sets foot on campus with transcript evalu-ation, and continues in helping the newcomer make the transition from high school or junior college to col-

lege. “When they arrive at ISU we want it to be a posi-t ive exper i -ence,” Gra-ziano says.

The Stu-dent-Athlete Support Cen-ter serves as a liaison for the student-ath-

lete to all ser-vices available to the student population as a whole, includ-ing but not lim-ited to career counseling, the counseling and testing office, the academic skills center, the registrar, financial aid, the placement office, postgrad-uate scholarships, and any other student services.

The office also provides tutoring, helps the stu-dent-athlete stay on track for graduation and NCAA eligibility, provides advising on general education courses until a major course of study is selected, and helps with career choices with the idea in mind that a college education can be more meaningful when a career is decided on. The office also makes presenta-tions on drug and alcohol awareness available to the student-athletes.

“Even though our graduation rates are good, we are constantly striving to improve them,” Graziano says. “The creation of the Student-Athlete Support Center is a positive step in that improvement.”

The refurbished Student-Athlete Support Center was dedicated in 2003 and is located on the south side

of Holt Arena. As part of the refurbishment, student computers and additional space for academic counseling were added, bringing added benefits to the students.

The department continues to expand, as in 2008, an expanded study center in Turner Hall was opened. The new center was funded with a $40,000 grant obtained by Matt Steuart from the NCAA. The new study area features over a dozen computer stations, a quiet room, and has available tutoring for the student-athletes.

Training and Injury preventionISU SPORTS AND ORTHOPEDIC CENTER

Idaho State’s athletic facilities had already boasted of the first domed stadium capable of housing both football and basketball ever constructed on a college campus, as well as America’s fastest indoor board track. With the June 1994 opening of the Sports & Orthopaedic Center at ISU, they include the premier weight training facility in the Big Sky Conference. The 25,000-foot Center includes a 6,800-foot state-of-the-art weight training area that is reserved strictly for Idaho State’s student-athletes. The area has weight lifting stations, stationary bicycles, and aerobics equipment, as well as an on-site strength and conditioning coach. The Center also houses the offices of Drs. Tony Joseph, M.R. Mickelson, ISU’s team physician, Steve Coker, Kenneth E. Newhouse, Dr. Vermon Esplin, Dr. Sandra Hoffman, and Dr. Chris Johnson along with the offices of The Pocatello Physical Therapy Clinic with physical therapists Ric Benedetti and Dan DesFosses, and an alumni, recruitment and educational center

with meeting and classrooms. It was built at a cost of $2.5 million. The Center is a joint venture of ISU and the Portneuf Medical Center and was 14 months in construction. It is a major milestone for ISU in fulfilling its mission as the state’s lead institution for health care education. It serves as an educational and training facility for health sciences students, faculty, area health care providers, and the community. The Center is beneficial for ISU’s student-athletes in numerous ways, aside from the enormous benefit of the area’s premier weight training facility being next door to Holt Arena. First and foremost, student-athletes have immediate access to physicians and therapists as well as the equipment used in treatment and rehabilitation. The Center was built at no cost to the public. The privately-financed structure will be leased to PMC and after the two 20-year land leases have expired, ownership is transferred back to Idaho State University.

Caccia FieldOn Saturday afternoon, October 6, 2007

on Homecoming against Northern Colorado, Idaho State University dedicated the Holt Arena playing surface to ISU’s all-time win-ningest coach, Italo J. “Babe” Caccia. The field is now known as Caccia Field.

The ceremony took place on the field prior to the nationally televised game with the Bears, a long standing former Rocky Mountain Conference rival that Caccia’s squads went

The Caccia Field logo was unveiled on the Holt Arena turf just prior to the start of the 2007 Homecoming game against Northern Colorado, a

game ISU would win 26-14 on national television.

9-1 against over his coaching tenure. Flanked by his wife and family, Caccia, who celebrated his 90th birthday during the week of the festivities, was called by ISU President Dr. Arthur C. Vailas “an institution, and a true Bengal”.

Caccia, who was the Athletic Direc-tor for ISU’s 1981 National Championship season and worked hand in hand with his best friend and Dome namesake Milton “Dubby” Holt, had the Holt Arena crowd in stitches at the ceremony, commenting that, “had I known all this would have happened, I’d be happy to turn 90 again next year!”

Babe coached the Bengals from 1952 through the 1965 season, compil-ing an all-time mark of 79-38-2. Babe’s teams won Rocky Mountain Conference championships in 1952, 1953, 1955, 1957, and 1959, and he also won the first ever Big Sky Conference title in 1963. Caccia’s legendary teams include a pair of unde-feated squads in 1952 (8-0, 5-0 RMC) and in 1957 (9-0, 6-0 RMC). The 1957 team outscored their opponents 280-85, with only one game decided by 13 points or less.

Caccia’s teams also went 11-3 on Homecoming, and fittingly, Idaho State scored a decisive 26-14 victory to com-memorate the occasion and the chris-tening of Caccia Field.

Idaho State has long been a national leader in innovative athletic facilities. In 1967, then-athletic director Milton ‘Dubby’ Holt first hit on the idea of playing both football and basketball in a domed structure on the ISU campus. The doors opened in September, 1970, with a 64-34 win over UNLV.

Only one domed facility predates Holt Arena: the Houston Astrodome. But ever since ISU dem-onstrated that a dome could be constructed at a reasonable price, which was $2.8 million at the time, domes have proliferated around the country.

Holt Arena is presently one of the few totally-contained indoor stadiums anywhere. It consists of a 12,000-seat football field and an 8,000-seat basketball arena with a wooden floor from the Horner Flooring Company. In 1999, Idaho State installed a brand new $1,000,000 turf playing sur-face, with a striking design from former ISU graphic artist Greg Grasso.

Holt Arena History

Holt Arena HistoryHolt Arena has hosted many memorable events.

Those coming to mind immediately include three NCAA Sub-Regional Basketball Tournaments, two of which ISU participated in, three NCAA Division I-AA playoff games involving Idaho State and two I-AA National Champ-ionship Games for which Pocatello bid to host and won, and numerous district and conference indoor track championships.

In 2001, Holt Arena hosted the Big Sky Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament as well as the Golden Spike Invitational Track Meet, which was broadcast on ESPN.

The Arena is also the site of numerous concerts by entertainers as diverse as Garth Brooks and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, numerous state high school champion-ships, and the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo.

In 2009, courtesy of the Idaho Potato Commission, a new 16x12 foot video board debuted, further increasing the fan experience at Holt Arena.

On September 21, 1996, tragedy struck the Idaho State University football family when the unthinkable happened. During a 47-0 rout of Montana-Western, second team All-American defensive back Marcus Jackson suffered a traumatic spinal injury while making a tackle late in the first half. The injury caused paralysis.

Up to that point, Marcus had a pair of interceptions in ISU’s first two games, and was looking for another All-America season. Ironically, Idaho State opened their season against the University of Mississippi, which just a season earlier suffered through the same tragedy with their All-American defensive back, Chuckie Mullins.

Following the injury, Marcus was hospitalized at the former Bannock Medical Center from September 21 through October 1, and was then flown back to his hometown in Colorado.

Jackson returned to Idaho State in the fall of 1997. His sense of humor and courage throughout the ordeal were admired by everyone he met along the way, and he became a regular fixture on the sidelines at ISU home games. In the summer of 1999, Marcus Jackson earned his bachelor’s degree from Idaho State, ready to embark on the next phase of his heroic journey through life.

To honor Marcus, one player is chosen after the conclusion of spring practice to wear a patch with Jackson’s initials on it. The team selects the player that they feel best personifies the athletic ability that Jackson showed, as well as the courage he showed throughout his ordeal.

In 1997, senior Telly Lockette was the first player to wear the patch, and senior Jason Trotter was the 1998 recipient. In 1999, the honor went to Nick Whitworth of Mackay, Idaho. In 2000 season, DeRonn Finley, a senior from Scottsdale, Arizona,

was voted to wear the patch by his teammates. For the 2001 season, the honor went to walk-on junior Mike Clark. The 2002 honoree was defensive lineman Mark Weivoda, and in 2003, junior Jeff Davenport became just the third junior to be voted to wear the patch. In 2004, senior Vince Caviglia was honored by his teammates, and in 2005, a sophomore wore the patch for the first time when Terrence Calloway was honored by his teammates. The 2006 recipient was Hunter Rodriguez, who was the first player to be honored yet miss the entire season. In 2007, the new coaching staff voted to honor senior center and leader George Yarno, and the 2008 honoree was Sacramento native Eddie Thompson, who rebounded from a torn ACL to earn Honorable Mention All-America honors. In 2009, Clint Knickrehm becomes the second Pocatello native to earn the honor.

Mitchell ended his career third on the all-time list for career rushing yards at ISU, and second in 100-yard games. A versatile player, Mitchell also caught 88 career passes and was a stalwart on special teams.

Josh RobinsonSigned Free Agent Contract

Baltimore Ravens, 2002

Robinson, a four-year veteran for Idaho State, ended up his career second all-time in ISU history in interceptions with 16, and he is the only Bengal in school history to lead the team in inter-ceptions four consecutive years.

Robinson, who scored two touchdowns in his career, was known for the big play. Against Sacramento State in 2000, he recovered a fumble in his own end zone in the final minute to seal a 41-39 win. His interception in 2001 against #25 Portland State in the final minute clinched a 23-17 win on Homecoming, and he scored on a 13-yard fumble return against #1 Montana in 2001

Eddie JohnsonDrafted, Sixth Round

Minnesota Vikings, 2003

Johnson, a two-time First Team Big Sky selection and the nation’s leading punter in 2001, was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL draft.

Johnson, Idaho State’s career leader in punting average, led the nation in 2001 with a 46.3-yard av-erage on the way to First Team All-America honors. In 2002, he averaged 46.2 per kick, and he set an NCAA I-AA record when he averaged 61.5 yards per punt on six punts against Cal Poly. With Johnson leading the way, Idaho State led the nation in net punting for the third consecutive year, including a I-AA record 44.3-yard net average in 2001.

Pete GarcesSigned Free Agent Contract

Detroit Lions, 2000

Garces played just two seasons for the Bengals, but he made his mark as perhaps the greatest long-range kicker in I-AA history. In just two seasons, Pete kicked 11 50-yard field goals, tying the NCAA I-AA record with West Carolina’s Jerry Roach, who took four seasons and 26 attempts. Garces made his 11 in just 16 tries.

Garces’ most famous kick was a 60-yarder in a 32-29 win over #25 Cal State Northridge that knocked the Matadors out of the NCAA I-AA playoffs.

Thompson was a versatile member of the Bengals, earning Honorable Mention All-Big Sky honors at tight end as a senior. Edwin, who caught 25 passes in his career, had his only touchdown in overtime, a 55-52 win over Eastern Washington in 2003.

The nephew of former NFL quarterback Jack Thompson, “The Throwin’ Samoan”, Thompson not only was known for his soft hands but his blocking. In fact, in the next to last game of his career, he swapped out his #86 jersey for #78 during a game to play tackle after some injuries to the other line-men, not allowing a sack.

Jared AllenDrafted, Fourth Round

Kansas City Chiefs, 2004

Allen was drafted in the fourth round by the Kansas City Chiefs after winning the Buck Buchanan Award as the Best Defensive Player in I-AA, voted on by a national panel of media.

Zeidman finished his career ranked fourth all-time in punting average at Idaho State, averaging 42.1 yards per kick over his three-year career. His 82-yard punt as a junior was the second-longest punt in ISU history, and it set a Holt Arena record as well.

A well-rounded athlete, Zeidman also went 8-for-12 in his career on field goals, hitting a career-long 50-yarder as a junior. He also served as a kickoff specialist as a senior, and when he wasn’t kicking field goals, he was holding on them as well.

Matt GutierrezSigned Free Agent ContractNew England Patriots, 2007

Gutierrez earned honorable mention All-Conference honors after transferring from the University of Michigan. Gutierrez threw for over 2,200 yards and 16 touchdowns for the Bengals, and he also accounted for another six touchdowns, five rushing and one receiving.

Matt was the preseason pick for All-Big Sky Conference among the media members, and he was both a team captain as well as Idaho State’s Newcomer of the Year.

D.J. ClarkSigned Free Agent Contract

Carolina Panthers, 2009

Clark was a monster cornerback for the Bengals, and was tremen-dously durable, becoming the only player to ever play and start in 45 games over his career.

Clark became one of two Bengals to ever lead the Bengals in interceptions in all four seasons, and he finished his career with 15 interceptions, tied for third in school history. He returned three of those picks for touchdowns, including a 100-yarder against Weber State, and he had a stretch where he recorded six consecutive interceptions in the end zone, thwarting opponent red zone chances.

Evan Dietrich-SmithSigned Free Agent Contract

Green Bay Packers, 2009

Dietrich-Smith was a workhouse for the Bengals, starting 44 of 45 games in his ISU career, including the final 36 games of his career. He played in every position along the line, eventually anchoring the all-important left tackle position.

A winner of the 2009 Bennion Award for team MVP, almost unheard of for an offensive lineman, Dietrich-Smith was also named ISU Male Lifter of the Year. In his final game of his ISU career, he caught a five-yard screen pass on a tackle-eligible play.

Bengal FOOTBALL 2009 Idaho State Football Media Guide PB


In the fall of 1981, the Idaho State University football team shocked the nation, as the Bengals capped an improbable season with a I-AA national champion-ship.

The season was all the more remarkable because in 1979 the Bengals went 0-11, and the cham-pionship came just 14 months after ending the longest losing streak in I-AA history at 19 games.

After an opening win over Eastern Washington, the Bengals took out defending national champion Boise State in Boise 21-10. They followed that with home wins over a strong Nevada team and Northern Arizona, and a road win at Portland State.

ISU lost at Montana 24-21, but they would not falter again. They knocked off Idaho on the road 24-14, and then scored im-

pressive home wins over Montana State 21-3, and Utah State, 50-24, setting up a win-ner-take-all showdown with Weber State for the Big Sky title and a berth in the NCAA playoffs. The game went to three overtimes, with ISU surviving a missed 32-yard field goal in the second overtime by WSU’s Roger Ruzek that would have won the game. In the third overtime, Case de-Bruijn nailed a 33-yard field goal for a 33-30 win.

Idaho State then waltzed to the championship game after home wins against Rhode Island 51-0, and South Carolina State 41-12.

In the Pioneer Bowl, as the I-AA game was called, ISU went up against perennial power Eastern Kentucky, but the Bengals would not be denied, win-ning the title with a 34-23 victory.

The 1981 Bengal squad went 12-1 on the way to the NCAA I-AA National Championship

the slot role held by Thompson, and has the speed to score from anywhere on the field, while Krosch is a big target at 6-5, with terrific hands. Taylor Barker also returns after playing in one game last year, and four fresh-men, Rodrick Rumble, Andrew Benavides, Mo Culpepper, and Shaquille Senegal all come to ISU with huge high school credentials and should all battle for playing time as true freshmen.

Tight End (1 letterman returning, 2 lettermen lost, 2 redshirts, 1 four-year transfer)ISU lost two solid lettermen, but the Bengals do return letterwinner Tyler Hjelseth, who should move

right near the top of the depth chart with his solid pass catching ability. Joining the team from Boise State and Blackfoot High School is Josh Hill, who was the 2007 4A State Player of the Year. A pair of redshirts from Twin Falls in Jon Van Vliet and Bryant Ward also will enter the rotation as redshirts, which should give the Bengals plenty of depth.

Offensive Line (5 lettermen returning, 2 let-termen lost, 1 squad member, 1 redshirt, 6 freshmen, 3 JC transfers)

Idaho State might have a new line coach in Mike Havens, but he enters with a stocked cupboard as five lettermen return, including four starters in Lance Cartwright, Ryan Henry, Mitch Rudder, and Brad Shedd. The other let-terwinner is Braeden Clayson, who should enter the line rotation as a sophomore. The Bengals also have a trio of junior college transfers in Demetrius Grant, Puchi Lesu and Travis Nua, and they join two-time squad member Nick Tranmer. All that depth should allow ISU’s plethora of freshmen, Parker Jolly, Mark Clampit, Chris

Hardinger, Talai Livai, Ryan McElwain, and Sean McElwain, all time to hit the weight room and get bigger and stronger while learning the system.

The Bengals Position-By-PositionIdaho State enters the 2009 season with a little bit of momentum in how they finished the 2008 season.

Despite just one win last year, the Bengals are a confident group, and a solid corps of returning players and an interesting mix of newcomers has ISU and third-year head coach John Zamberlin cautiously optimistic about the 2009 season. The following is a position-by-position breakdown of the Bengals as they look to rebound in 2009.

OFFENSE (7 starters returning, 14 lettermen returning)Quarterback (2 letterman returning, 1 returning squad member, 2 incoming freshmen)

Idaho State returns all 12 starts from last year, split between Kyle Blum and Russel Hill. Blum started the last two games, including ISU’s lone win over Sacramento State, and threw for 730 yards and three touchdowns. Hill on the other hand started the first 10 games and threw for more yards than any other sophomore in school history. Also returning is Evan Mozzochi, who spent last year as the #3 quarterback, and now has two years invested in the program. ISU’s quarterback depth should allow incoming freshmen Justin Level and Kyle Morris time to develop.

Running Back (1 letterman returning, 3 letterman lost, 2 redshirts, one incoming freshmen)

Idaho State returns their leading rush-ing form 2008 in Clint Knickrehm, but that’s all as ISU lost three other letterwinners. Knickrehm rushed for 456 and battled through injuries, and led the team with eight touchdowns. He’s joined by a pair of bulldog running mates in Ben Laporta and Ethan Monroe, who redshirted last season. Also joining them is the 4A State Player of the Year in Idaho last season in Minico’s Skylar Morgan, who might see time as a true freshman.

Wide Receivers (4 lettermen returning, 2 letterman lost, 1 squad member, 3 incoming freshmen)Idaho State will need to overcome the loss of all-time leading receiver Eddie Thompson, but the deep

receiving corps should be up to the task once again, headed up by senior Jaron Taylor, who leads all returnees with 735 yards last year on 55 catches. Taylor also led the team with six touchdown grabs. Junior Isaiah Burel had a breakout season as well, catching 56 balls for 607 yards. Also returning are a pair of lettermen who look to figure more prominently in 2009 in JD Ponciano and Kelvin Krosch. Ponciano should take over

Linebacker (5 lettermen returning, 2 lettermen lost, 1 redshirt, 1 squad member, 1 JC transfers)Idaho State lost their top defensive player in Ryan Phipps to graduation, and two starters overall, but ISU does return a starter in Phillip Arias, who totaled 64 tackles last year. Moving over from safety where he was honorable mention All-Big Sky is A.J. Storms, who will benefit from spring practice as a linebacker. ISU also returns part-time starter Nic Edgson, as well as reserves Jeremy Gibson, J.T. Albers, and Daniel Urias, who all saw significant action in 2008. The Bengals also have redshirt Mitch Beckstead along with highly touted JC transfer Jarrid Nash. A pair of incoming high schoolers in Logan Horrocks and Trevor Medley were in camp for spring ball, proving solid experience.

Secondary (5 lettermen returning, 4 lettermen lost, 3 redshirts, 1 four-year transfer, 2 incoming fresh-men)

Out is four-year interception leader D.J. Clark, but back is plenty of experience, and a lot of hard hitting. Michael Wright returns after 12 starts at cornerback last year, and Amir Owens and Dustin Tew started four games between them at safety. George Ortiz also returns, and Kelvin Miller was the nickel last year and is looking to move into the starting lineup this year. A boon for the team are three redshirts, including the hard hitting Chris Holmesley, who redshirted last year and returns as a rare JC transfer with a year and a half in experience in the system. Brennan Ghassemiah and Phillip Pleasant both are top prospects and can step in, and ISU added former Nevada starting cornerback Kenny Viser, making this unit perhaps the most improved unit on the squad. ISU has two freshmen as well in Cameron Gupton and Tubotein Taylor, who also plays running back.

Special Teams (2 lettermen returning, 2 lettermen lost)Idaho State returns preseason All-America punter Jon Vanderwielen, who watched for three seasons before

taking over the top role at ISU, averaging 42.4 yards per kick and proving a force in the field position battle. ISU also returns one of their two kickers in Jarrett Huk, who was near perfect in extra points and ended up as ISU’s long kicker last year. The Bengals did lose the services of Mike Ramos, who went 9-for-11 and hit the field goal to send the final game of the season to overtime. Also, ISU needs to find a new longsnapper after Chris Kirkegaard transferred after suffering a torn ACL last year.

DEFENSE (6 starters returning, 15 lettermen returning)Defensive Line (5 lettermen returning, 7 let-termen lost, 2 redshirts, 1 squad member, 2 JC transfers, 8 freshmen)

ISU’s defensive line was ravaged by injuries, as ISU had 14 different players appear on a two-deep at one point in time during the season. However, ISU returns five of those linemen, losing seven as well. Junior Sean Rutten leads all the returners in tackles, coming off a freshman year in which he was changing positions. The Bengals also have a returning defensive end Jeff Tuua, and three interior linemen in seniors Demetrius Amos and Jason Jones, and sophomore David Tyler. ISU also brings in a pair of redshirts in Jake Rouser and Mykel Durr, and two JC transfers in Rustin Phillips and Chad O’Donnell. That group, barring injuries, should provide the depth to allow eight freshmen a chance to grow and learn outside of the glare of the field in 2009..

Bengal VillageIn September of 2006, Idaho State University unveiled the Athletic Facilities Master Plan, a plan that features several new facilities and practice areas that will change the look of the upper section of the Idaho State University campus. The new all-encompassing complex will be called “Bengal Village” and it is the focal point of the Athletic Facilities Master Plan, which was the culmination of an 18-month process. Bengal Vil-lage now serves as the tangible long-term vision for Bengal Athletics.

Bengal Village centers itself around Holt Arena, and it includes an indoor practice facility, Papenberg Field (an outdoor synthetic turf practice football field), a basketball arena, Miller Ranch Stadium for softball, ten-nis courts, and a new building connecting various new facilities that will house new offices, an academic center, weight rooms, training area, and locker rooms, along with a potential Hall of Fame and meeting space.

Papenberg Field (named after a lead gift of $1.6 million from Sylvia Papenberg and her late husband Don) will be located on the east side of Holt Arena where a parking lot is currently located. Miller Ranch Stadium will be located on the site of the current South Practice Field. The parking lot to the east of the current prac-tice field will become the site of a new indoor practice facility that would include a 60-70 yard football field that can be used by the football team as well as other ISU athletic teams. The facility would also include three indoor basketball/volleyball courts as well.

The north side of Holt Arena will be the site of the new basketball arena, which when completed will seat approximately 7,500 fans. The new basketball complex will be connected to Holt Arena. On the south side of Holt Arena, on the site of the current South Practice Field, a new softball complex will be constructed, using Holt Arena as a hitters backdrop.

The plan will also include several upgrades to Holt Arena, including seismic improvements, heat-ing and ventilation improvements, new turf, and acoustical improvements, along with the addition of a new press box and donor suites. Centralized and connected to the indoor practice facil- i ty and Holt Arena will be a new building designed with locker rooms, a permanent Hall of Fame, of-fices, training room, meeting rooms, and potential booster areas as well. This building will have ac-cess to both Holt Arena, the indoor practice facility, the softball complex, and the outdoor football practice field.

The plan was developed in conjunction with the vision statement developed by ISU Athletics and the Planning Committee. The goal was to develop a plan that is both enviable and practical for meet-ing the needs of a NCAA Division I athletic program. The Bengal Village concept took 11 months in all from the start of meetings in November of 2005.

fense, passing offense, and scoring offense. The Wildcats also got it done in the classroom, as in 2002 his team had the highest grade point average in the GNAC as well. That 2002 team also defeated UC Davis 38-14 and North Dakota 43-7. The tradition of classroom excellence continued at Idaho State as the Bengals have had 19 players earn Big Sky All-Aca-demic, and the team’s grade point average the last two seasons have been 2.71 and 2.75, the two high-est marks in over 10 years.

Zamberlin earned his first conference title as a coach in 1998 with Central Washington after a 7-4 season that saw the Wildcats go 4-1 in the Columbia Foot-ball Conference. That 1998 team advanced to the quarterfinals of the NAIA playoffs.

Zamberlin also instituted CWU’s study hall and established their strength and con-ditioning program. He also personally over-saw academics for his team. As a head coach, Zamberlin has guided his teams to the tune of seven winning seasons and eight seasons of .500 or better. His head coaching successes at Central followed a nine-year career as an assistant at three dif-ferent I-AA schools. Zamberlin served nine years in the Division I, spending the 1995 and 1996 seasons as defensive coordina-tor and linebackers coach at the University of Richmond, helping the Spiders rank 12th or better in total defense nationally both seasons. Zamberlin also handled all of the defensive special teams at Richmond, and assisted with the strength and conditioning program.

Prior to Richmond, John got a taste of the Big Sky Conference as he served as the linebackers coach at Eastern Washington,

John ZamberlinHead CoachPacific Lutheran, 19793rd Season-Idaho State

John Zamberlin enters his third season at the helm of the Idaho State Bengals, one with renewed hope and optimism.

Zamberlin was named the 24th head coach in Ida-ho State University’s rich football history on December 15,

2006, bringing with him 10 years of head coaching experience, and a track record of winning games and graduating student-athletes, and he has been an immediate hit in Pocatello and Southeast Idaho.

Playing one of the nation’s toughest non-conference schedules last sea-son, and doing so again this season, Zamberlin has been able to build his pro-gram to the point where his system can now be fully implemented. Idaho State improved greatly towards the end of last season, and shook off a long losing streak with a thrilling win in the season finale one week after battling toe-to-toe with national runner-up Montana in Missoula. ISU’s end of season play and progress has Bengal Nation excited for the 2009 season, despite dates with FBS powers Arizona State and Oklahoma on the docket.

Zamberlin has also been lauded for a three stellar recruiting classes, featur-ing a wealth of homegrown Idaho talent.

The list of career accomplishments is long for Zamberlin, as he now has a career coaching record of 67-60, including a 42-35 mark over the past seven years. Central Washington won back-to-back Great North-west Athletic Conference titles in 2004 and 2005, and Zamberlin won GNAC Coach of the Year honors both of those years. All told, Zamberlin was named GNAC Coach of the Year in 1998, 2002, 2004, and 2005. In 2003, the Wildcats were preseason ranked #1, and that came on the heels of an incredible 2002 season.

In 2002, Central Washington ended the season ranked #5 (DII Football.com & AFCA), going 11-0 in the regular season, including a 31-16 win over Big Sky co-champion Mon-tana State, on their way to the NCAA Divi-sion II playoffs.

working for both Dick Zornes and Mike Kramer. With the Eagles, John also oversaw all defensive special teams, and he coached and designed the kickoff coverage unit. With the Eagles, Zamberlin was a part of their 1992 NCAA I-AA playoff squad that won a share of the Big Sky Conference title.

Zamberlin got his collegiate coaching start at the University of Massachusetts as a linebackers coach from 1987-1990, helping the Minutemen to a pair of Yan-kee Conference titles in 1988 and 1990. The Yankee Conference morphed into the Atlantic-10 Conference, meaning his nine years of Division I coaching came in the two dominant leagues in the Football Championship Subdivision.

In his collegiate coaching career, Zamberlin has been a part of seven confer-ence titles (four as a head coach), and he has been a part of three trips to the Division I FCS playoffs (formerly I-AA) and a trip to both the Division II and the NAIA playoffs. He also has won five coach of the year awards, including the 2002 West-ern Region Division II Coach of the Year. He was inducted into the Pacific Lutheran University Hall of Fame in 1996, and his jersey was retired in 1985 after a stellar ca-reer as an All-America selection in 1978.

Zamberlin played linebacker in the NFL for six seasons, playing 78 total games with the New England Patriots (1979-1982) and the Kansas City Chiefs (1983-1984). He was a fifth round draft choice of New England out of Pacific Lutheran University, where he earned a degree in 1979 in physical education.

While with New England, he recorded one career interception, a fumble recovery, and he recovered a blocked kick against the New York Jets, and his lateral on that play

led to a 56-yard touchdown, only the sec-ond blocked field goal return for a touchdown in Patriots history. He was also drafted in base-ball by the Seattle Mariners after a standout col-legiate career as a centerfielder. The 53-year old Zamberlin (born February 13, 1956) has been married to his wife Mary Ellen for 12 years, and together they have two children, Kenny (10), and Kasey (8). John also has two grown chil-dren, Megan and Kyle.

Steve AmrineSafetiesEastern Washington, 19963rd Season-Idaho State

Steve Amrine is entering his third season with Idaho State Uni-versity, overseeing the safeties. Amrine joined the Bengals after spending five seasons at Feather River College.

Last year, Amrine saw a safety corps beset with injuries, forcing ISU to start six different tandems during the year, but he nurtured that group and helped true

freshman A.J. Storms to earn honorable mention All-Big Sky honors. That came after he coached Terrance Cal-loway to honorable mention All-Big Sky honors, as ISU’s safeties were responsible for 179 total tackles, including Calloway’s 76, tying for the second-most on the team.

Previous to Idaho State, Amrine spent five years on the staff at Feather River College in Quincy, California as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. Amrine, who coached on both sides of the ball helped Feather River to five winning seasons and five Bowl games. In 2003, the team went 9-2, advancing to the Tri-Coun-ties Bank Holiday Bowl. Feather River also qualified for postseason bowls in 2004 and 2006, winning the 2004 East County Bowl 38-6.

Amrine is no stranger to Zamberlin however, having coached the running backs and serving as special teams coordinator from 1998-2001 at Central Washing-ton, helping Central to a national playoff berth.

Amrine first got the chance to work with Zamberlin at Eastern Washington from 1993-95, where he worked with the receiv-ers, running backs, and offensive line.

Amrine has also coached in the prep ranks, coaching receivers at Castle Rock High School in Washington in 1991 and serving as the offensive coordinator for the Columbia High School, in White Salmon, Washington in 1996.

Amrine played one season of football at Eastern Or-egon University.

The 37-year old Amrine (11-11-71) is married, and he and his wife Jaime have a son, Tucker, and a second child in late October. He earned his undergraduate de-gree from Eastern Washington in education in 1996 and a master’s in 2000 from Central Washington in athletic administration. His primary recruiting areas are Northern California and Northern Nevada, and he originally hails from Castle Rock, Washington.

Joe CullenDefensive LineMassachusetts, 19901st Season-Idaho State

Joe Cullen is entering his first season with Idaho State University, assisting with the defensive line after spending the previous three years in the National Football League.

Cullen spent the previous three years with the Detroit Lions, and while the Lions did not experience much success as a team, going 0-16 last year, Cullen’s defensive line was one of the few bright spots

during their season. Last year the Lions finished 10th in the NFL in sacks per attempt, and the defensive line finished in the NFL’s top 10 for the second straight year in sacks. Rookie defensive end Cliff Avril led all first-year players in sacks with 6.0 and in forced fumbles with four.

In 2007, the defensive line improved from 24th in the NFL to ninth in sacks as the unit reg-istered 28.5 sacks, good for seventh in the league, with three different lineman registering career-highs. Cullen also instituted the “Joe Cullen Big Man Camp” for lineman in the Detroit inner-city area.

Prior to the Lions, Cullen had 16 years of Division I experience coaching defensive lines, including four as a defensive coordinator. His longest tenure was at the University of Richmond, where he coached from 1992 through 1998, and again in 2000, serving as the defensive co-ordinator in 1997, ‘98, and 2000. While as defensive coordinator with the Spiders, Richmond had a great defensive run, leading the Atlantic 10 in total defense all three years, including ranking fourth nationally in rushing defense and 14th in scoring defense in 2000, despite play-ing the nation’s toughest schedule, according to the NCAA.

The 1998 Spiders went 9-2, winning the Atlantic 10 title and advancing to the NCAA play-offs. After Richmond went 5-6 in 1999 and Cullen spent a year on staff at LSU coaching the

defensive line there, he came back in 2000, and so did the Spider defense, helping Richmond go 10-3, advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals.

Cullen has also had coaching stops in the Football Bowl Subdivision level at Memphis, Indiana, and Illinois, where he was a part of Ron Zook’s first staff in Cham-paign before heading to the NFL with the Lions.

Cullen has a long history with Zamberlin, as he played under Zamberlin at the University of Massa-chusetts, where he was a nose guard from 1986-89, earning All-Yankee Conference honors three times. After ending his playing career in 1989 with a streak of 45 straight games started, Cullen then joined Zamberlin on the coaching staff there. The two also served together at the University of Richmond from 1995-96, meaning the stint in Pocatello will be their third together.

Cullen earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management from UMass in 1990, and he has earned credits at both Illinois and Richmond towards a master’s degree. The Amrine family (L-R): Steve,

Junior FalevaiTight EndsIdaho State, 20024th Season-Idaho State

Junior Falevai is entering his fourth season with Idaho State Univer-sity, and he will work with ISU’s tight ends after spending the past two seasons as an assistant with ISU’s defensive ends. In his first season on the staff, he spent the 2006 season as an assistant linebackers coach while serving as a graduate assistant coach.

Falevai assisted Brian Strandley with the defensive ends last year, as they saw a position ravaged with injuries. Still the defensive line improved, despite having seven different starting combinations, Chief among the improvements was the maturation of defensive end Mike Jablonsky, who went from off the depth chart to starter, and led the line in tackles with 37. ISU’s defensive ends had a solid showing in 2007, keyed by Geo Simmons, who earned honorable mention All-Big Sky honors. Simmons led the team in sacks with 4.5 on the season.

Falevai’s 2006 season was spent working with ISU’s linebackers, ISU’s strongest defensive unit. Among the linebackers was Buck Buchanan Candidate Pago Togafau. Falevai is no stranger to the linebacking position, having earned All Big Sky Conference honors in 2001 as a middle linebacker for the Bengals in his only season in the orange and black after transferring from the University of Houston, where he was a starter as well. While playing for the Bengals, he played under the name Junior Ioane, before adding the name Falevai after he graduated.

Along with assisting with the linebackers in 2006, Junior also handled defensive academic progress, game-day personnel and substitutions, and he served in a support role for recruiting in the state of Hawaii.

Prior to coming to Idaho State as a coach, Junior spent one season coaching linebackers at Skyline High School in Idaho Falls.

The 33-year old Falevai (3-17-76) earned his undergraduate degree from Idaho State in sociol-ogy in 2002. His primary recruiting areas are Utah, Hawaii, and Nevada, and he originally hails from Kahuku, Hawaii.

Mike HavensOffensive LineIdaho State, 20073rd Season-Idaho State

Mike Havens is entering his third season with John Zamberlin’s coaching staff, and he takes over the offensive line this season after coaching tight ends the last two years.

Under Havens, ISU saw a resurgence in their tight ends, as Trevor Messersmith was fifth

on the team is receptions with 20, including a pair of touchdowns. All told, ISU tight ends caught 25 passes on the season for 191 yards.

Moving to the offensive line shouldn’t be a tough stretch for Havens, who played offensive line for the Bengals through the 2004 season. In fact, Havens pulled double duty that season as a lineman and a tight end, often swapping his #59 jersey for a #94 tight end jersey.

Havens was a three-year letterwinner for Idaho State, and graduated in 2007. He is married to former ISU vol-leyball player Nikki Havens, and together they have one son, Wrecker, born on December 15, 2008.

Drew MillerWide ReceiversIdaho State, 20073rd Season-Idaho State

Drew Miller is entering his third season with Idaho State Univer-sity, overseeing the wide receivers. Miller joined the Bengals after spending three seasons on head coach John Zamberlin’s staff at Central Washington.

Under Miller, ISU’s receivers have shined, headed up by Eddie Thompson, who in 2007 earned honorable mention All-America hon-

ors after grabbing 83 catches, the second-most in school history. Last year Thompson broke ISU’s all-time receptions record for a career, as well as ISU’s 40-year old record for receptions in a game. In 2008, ISU’s receivers combined for 215 catches, 2,694 yards, and 13 of ISU’s 17 passing touchdowns. Overall in 2007, ISU’s receiving corps hauled in 174 passes for 2,307 yards and 12 of ISU’s 14 passing touchdowns.

Miller coached wide receivers at Central from 2004-06, helping the Wildcats to a pair of Great Northwest titles. In 2004, two of his receivers earned All-Great Northwest honors, and in 2005, he not only had a pair of First Team All-GNAC picks, but receiver Brian Potucek was named a Division II All-American, All-West Region and he was selected to participate in the Cactus Bowl.

In 2006 at Central, Miller coached redshirt fresh-man Johnny Spevak to First Team All-NCC honors, giving him five All-Conference athletes in three years, including four first teamers.

Miller got his coaching start where he fin-ished his collegiate career, at the University of Montana. Miller served as an assistant quar-terbacks coach under Bill Cockhill, (now Offensive Coordinator at Wyoming), helping the Griz to the 2001 National Championship.

Miller played two years for Montana, twice earning All-Big Sky and All-American honors. He was the conference’s Newcomer of the Year in 1999, and he was a two-time finalist for the Walter Payton Award, finishing second to Adrian Peterson of the Chicago Bears in 1999. In 2000, he led Montana to the National Championship game, eventually losing 27-23 to Georgia Southern. Miller ended up at Montana after a two-year stint at Brigham Young from 1997-98, where he was the first true freshman to start a game at quarterback in BYU’s history. With the Cougars he helped them to the 1998 Western Athletic Conference title game and the 1998 Liberty Bowl.

Miller has also played professionally, spending 2001 with the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League, and 2002 with the Detroit Fury of the Arena Football League.

The 31-year old Miller (3-14-78) is married to Diana Miller, and he earned his undergraduate degree from Idaho State in gen-eral studies in 2007. His primary recruiting areas are Washington and Coeur d’Alene, and he originally hails from Lakewood, Washington.

Brian JensenOffensive Coordinator/QuarterbacksCentral Washington, 19973rd Season-Idaho State

Brian Jensen is entering his third season with Idaho State Uni-versity, and his first as the offensive coordinator. He will coach the quarterbacks as well for the third straight season. Jensen joined the Bengals after spending four seasons on head coach John Zamberlin’s staff at Central Washington.

Under Jensen, ISU’s quarterbacks have been superb. In 2008, sophomore Russel Hill broke the school record for yards passing by a sophomore, and he and Kyle Blum combined for six 300-yard passing games. All told, the Bengals threw for 3.396 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2008, completing 57.9 percent of all passes.

In 2007 Jensen’s main protégé, Russel Hill, put up one of the best seasons ever by an ISU freshman quarterback, throwing for 2,313 yards and 14 touchdowns, with a quarterback rating of 128.8, and all of those numbers rank either second or third on the ISU fresh-men lists.

While at Central, Jensen spent all four years in charge of quarterbacks as well as serving as the Co-Offensive Coordina-tor for the Wildcats, racking up impressive numbers along with a pair of conference titles. In 2006, Central’s offense led the league in passing yards, and the offense ranked in the top 20 nationally. Jensen’s quarterback Mike Reilly finished the season ranked 8th nationally in total passing yards.

In 2005, Central’s offense ranked 12th nationally and they led the conference in passing efficiency, despite starting a freshman quarterback. That quarterback, which was Reilly, earned Freshman of the Year honors, ranking in the top 10 nationally in both total yards and passing efficiency. He also

broke all of Jon Kitna’s freshmen records for passing and eventually signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In Jensen’s first season, he helped quarterback Zac Hill to All-American honors, leading the GNAC in passing yards and touchdowns.

Prior to going to Central Washington, Jensen spent five years as an assistant at Bellarmine Prep, including offensive coordinator, winning a league title and earning a state playoff berth in both 1997 and 2002.

The 36-year old Jensen (6-3-73) played at Central Wash-ington for four years, from 1992-95, where he helped led Central Washington to the 1995 NAIA National Champion-ship, eventually getting inducted in 2006 into the Central Washington Hall of Fame.

Brian StrandleyDefensive Coordinator/Defensive LineIdaho, 19953rd Season-Idaho State

Brian Strandley is entering his third season with Idaho State Uni-versity, and is serving as both the defensive coordinator and the defensive line coach. Strandley joined the staff after spending the 2006 season as the defensive line coach at Eastern Washington.

Strandley, however, is no stranger to John Zamberlin, having served as a defensive coach for nine years at Central Washington

University.Last year saw ISU’s defense ravaged by injuries, but true to Strandley’s leadership, the

squad never quit, and started turning in solid performances. The squad still turned in several big performances, including ISU’s pass defense allow 112 yards or less in three of the final four games of the season.

In his first year with the club, Idaho State’s defense showed a knack for the big play, scoring five touchdowns on the year, including game-changing fumble returns on back-to-back drives in a win over Portland State. All told, ISU nearly doubled their takeaways (23, up from 12 in 2006), and they increased their totals in sacks, tackles for loss, passes defended, and forced fumbles, all while having seven players earn honorable mention All-Big Sky, including a pair of Strandley’s defensive linemen.

Strandley was hired at CWU when Zamberlin took over as head coach in 1997. He helped the Wildcats compile a 57-36 record in nine

seasons, including an 8-2 record in the 2005 season. Cen-tral won its last seven games and was undefeated in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

Strandley was a four-year starter at Idaho from 1991-94, and was Idaho’s 1993 defensive captain, finishing his career with 101 tackles. When he was a junior, the Vandals advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs, and in 1994, Idaho led I-AA in rushing defense (65.3 yards per game).

He helped Idaho to a 35-14 record, three playoff berths and one Big Sky Conference title in four seasons under head coach John L. Smith. Included were three victories in four games versus Eastern. Idaho lost to the Eagles 34-31 in overtime his freshman season, but then won the next three games by a combined score of 127-46. He had seven tackles, a sack and a pass broken up in four career games versus EWU.

After he graduated from Idaho, Strandley coached at Potlatch, Idaho, High School where he served as defensive coordinator and head junior varsity coach.

The 38-year old Standley (6-7-71) is married to Erika. His primary recruiting area is Northern California.

BRandon “Cherokee” ValeriaCornerbacksCentral Washington, 19993rd Season-Idaho State

Brandon “Cherokee” Valeria is entering his third season with Idaho State University, and he will again oversee the cornerbacks. Valeria joined the Bengals after spending two seasons on head coach John Zamberlin’s staff at Central Washington, coaching the corners.

ISU’s cornerbacks were thin in 2008, but under Valeria, they still performed above expectations, headlined by D.J. Clark. The senior graduated to the NFL’s Carolina Panthers after leading the team in interceptions for the fourth straight season. Clark picked off five passes to finish in the top five in career interceptions, and he earned Second Team All-Big Sky after be-ing named honorable mention All-Big Sky in 2007, a season in which he picked off four passes, two for touchdowns. Just one year after ISU corners accounted for half of the teams’ interceptions, Bengal corners in 2008 picked up 85.7 percent of the teams’ picks.

Valeria has had a player rank among the na-tion’s top 30 in interceptions in each of the last four years, dating back to his time with the Wildcats.

While at Central, Valeria helped Brandon Ken-nedy earn preseason All-American honors in 2006 as a sophomore. In 2005, Central won the GNAC title, going 8-2 overall and undefeated in league play. Central’s defense was ranked 11th nationally, pick-ing up 33 takeaways. Of those 33 takeaways, 11, or 33% were directly attributed to cornerbacks, and 21 came for the whole secondary. Both of Valeria’s corners earned First Team All-GNAC honors.

Valeria has also coached in minor league professional football, in the high school ranks, and with the Everett Hawks of the National Indoor Football League. All of his stops have turned up success stories. He was named the 2004 Northwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year by Minor League Football News after helping the West Sound Saints to the NWFL title game.

Valeria played at Central Washington for four years, from 1993-97, where he helped lead the Wildcats to the 1995 NAIA National Championship, eventually being inducted in 2006 into the Central Washington Hall of Fame. He played receiver at Central, and graduated in 1999 with a degree in biology.

The 34-year old Valeria (6-13-75) has a son, Ayosgi Uwasa (which means “Last Warrior” in Cherokee) and a daughter T’Kia Li (which means “Message from God”). His primary recruiting area is Los Angeles, Orange Country and Las Vegas, and he originally hails from Hilo, Hawaii.The Strandley family (L-R): Brian

student-athletes in the west, and in Idaho in particular as the Bengals have signed the most in-state scholarship athletes in each of the past five years.

Last season, ISU rushers totaled 1,053 yards through nagging injuries, scoring 14 touchdowns. Taking after their coach, ISU running backs totaled 337 touches in 2007 and they lost just one fumble all year, that coming in the rain at Cal Poly.

Last season, Whitworth’s protoge Josh Barnett broke the school’s all-time rushing record with 3,412 yards, rushing for 1,022, making him the first running back in school history with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Barnett’s 2,129 yards in back-to-back seasons broke Whitworth’s own record of 2,039 yards. Last year, ISU rushers accounted for 1,483 yards and 11 of ISU’s 12 rushing touchdowns.

In 2006, Barnett earned First Team All-Big Sky honors after rushing for 1,117 yards, the third-most in school history. Overall, ISU’s running backs rushed for 1,358 yards and 13 touchdowns, and that comes on the heels of the 2005 campaign that saw the group rush for 1,714 yards and 23 touchdowns, the best numbers in over 20 years from that position. Both Josh Barnett and Ken Cornist earned all-conference honors, and Cornist set a Bengal freshman record with 14 rushing scores as both rushed for over 780 yards.

Handling the running backs probably comes second na-ture to Nick. Whitworth had a standout four-year career at Idaho State from 1997-2000, the last two years as the team’s starting tailback. Whitworth rushed for 1,106 yards as a junior, the third most in school history. Included in that total was a school record 273 yards against

Fort Lewis College, which broke the school record. That game came on the heels of the season opener when Whitworth raced for 221 yards against Eastern Oregon, making his 494 yards rushing in back-to-back games the most in school history.

“The Mackay Missile” as he was called, also ended his career on a resounding note, with a 201-yard game in a 27-24 win over FBS Utah State in Logan. Whitworth is the only Bengal in school history with three 200-yard games to his credit, owning three of the eight 200-yard games in school history. On the ISU career charts, he currently ranks third all-time in rushing with 2,353 yards and seventh in all-purpose yards per game at 92.9, and 10th in kickoff return average at 21.2 yards per game.

The 30-year old Whitworth (8-20-79) is married to Erin Whitworth, and they have a one-year old daughter, Olivia. He earned his undergraduate degree from Idaho State in 2002. His primary recruiting area is Idaho, and he originally hails from Mackay, Idaho.

Jared Allen - 2003 Buck Buchanan Award Winner

Chattanooga, TN (Sports Network) - Idaho State defensive end Jared Allen was named the 10th winner of the Buck Buchanan Award at the Division I-AA College Football Awards on the eve of the 2003 I-AA national championship. The Buchanan Award is presented annually to the top defensive player in I-AA football.

The fourth-round draft choice of the Kansas City Chiefs recorded 17.5 sacks, 102 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles, three recovered fumbles, and nine pass deflections during 2003, ranking among the Big Sky Conference leaders in several defensive categories. Allen, a First-Team All-America choice, led ISU to an 8-4 record in 2003, helping the school post its first back-to-back eight win seasons in school history. Idaho State finished the regular season ranked No. 21 in the nation.

Said Allen, “Being named the recipient of the Buck Buchanan Award is truly an amazing honor. There were so many deserving candidates this year, it was an honor just to be named in such an elite group. A lot of credit to this year goes to our team’s successes over the past few years, and most of all to my teammates, because football is a team game. I certainly share this with them.”

Allen was the eighth consecutive senior to win the award, and the first defensive end since North Carolina A&T’s Chris McNeil in 1997. Allen was the first player from the Big Sky Conference to win the Buck Buchanan Award and the first Big Sky player to take a major I-AA honor since Northern Arizona’s Archie Amerson won the Walter Payton Award in 1996.

Allen was at his best in ISU’s seven conference games, posting all but two of his sacks in league play. The Los Gatos, Calif., native was basically unblockable against opponents such as Eastern Washington (4 sacks), Montana (3.5 sacks), Weber State (2 sacks), and Portland State (2 sacks). After recording just four tackles for loss through the first four games, Allen exploded for 24 in his final eight contests combined. The senior had a string of three straight games with a forced fumble, and ended the year by recovering a trio of fumbles in his final two outings. On the offensive end, the 6-6, 275-pounder lined up to catch a three-yard touchdown pass in an upset of Cal Poly on Nov. 15th.

Allen finished his outstanding collegiate career with 38.5 sacks and 250 tackles. Allen received 28 first-place votes and 253 points from the panel of 91 I-AA sports information directors and selected media. Following Allen

in the voting were Illinois State linebacker Boomer Grigsby, who earned 13 first-place votes and 193 total points, and Wofford safety Matt Nelson, who registered 10 first-place votes and 160 total points. Grigsby eventually became a teammate of Allen’s in Kansas City.

The Buck Buchanan Award was established in 1995 by The Sports Network. The Award is named for All-Pro defensive end Junious “Buck” Bu-chanan, who played for the Kansas City Chiefs after beginning his career at Grambling State University. Former Buchanan winners include former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro linebacker Dexter Coakley (Appalachian State, 1995, 1996), Oakland Raiders starting LB Ed Hartwell (Western Illinois, 2000), and Jacksonville Jaguars starting defensive back Rashean Mathis (Bethune-Cookman, 2002).

The Big Sky Conference enters its 47th year of athletic com-petition in 2009-10. The Big Sky is an NCAA Division I member in all

sports, with member institutions classified in the Football Champion-ship Subdivision (formally I-AA).The Big Sky returned to a nine-team format in 2006 with the addition of Northern Colorado.

The current lineup includes Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Portland State, Sacramento State and Weber State. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in I-AA football.

The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washington.

The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001, leaving the league at eight teams until 2006.

With the addition of Northern Colorado, the Big Sky spreads across seven states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountain Front. The Big Sky is represented along the entire west coast with schools in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and now Colorado.

Of the eight western-most states in the contiguous United States only one, Nevada, is not represented in the Big Sky.

On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new confer-ence. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State, and Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963.

The Big Sky sponsors championships in 14 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer.

The 2009-10 season will mark the 22nd year that the Big Sky Conference will sponsor championships in women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women.

Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, will enter his 15th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson. Stephenson served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 1977-81 while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

Overall RecordsClass RecordsLongest Plays

Alfredo Anderson owns records for rushing yards by a freshman and a junior, and his 1,192 yards as a junior is still a school record. He is the only

freshman to rush for 1,000 yards, and he is one of only two Bengals to have two career 1,000-yard seasons. He was such a tremendous athlete he

started several games at quarterback in his career.

Josh Barnett broke ISU’s career rushing record against Sacramento

State in the final game of his career on the run pictured at

right. Barnett is the only Bengal with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, and he is the school

record holder with 15 100-yard games in his career.

In conjunc-tion with that milestone, a radio campaign of the top moments in Idaho State history were presented over the course of the season. Enjoy this trip down memory lane and enjoy the moments that made it onto the list, plus a few new additions.

September 1902. Idaho S t a t e ’ s F i r s t G a m e . T h e University was barely a year old when Idaho State’s football team took the field for the first of five games in their inaugu-ral season. The t e a m d i d n ’ t need to look far for an op-ponent, as the squad took on the Pocatello High School team and won 17-0. The ISU squad defeated Pocatello three more times during the year, and Idaho Falls High School once to finish their first season with a perfect 5-0 mark.

November 1907. Birth of a Champion. Under the first year of head coach John Morris, the 1907 Bengals won their first-ever recognized title, winning the Idaho Scho-lastic Championship. Under the direction of Ben Lowrie, the earliest recognized cap-tain in the program’s history, the Bengals clinched the title with a 34-0 whitewash of Payette High School.

September 1920. ISU’s First Great Coach Debuts. In Idaho State’s first 17 seasons, the Bengals went through seven coaches, but in 1920, the Bengals saw the coaching debut of Ralph Hutchinson, and ISU football, and ISU athletics would be forever changed. Hutchinson, who years earlier helped change ISU’s nickname

from the “Bantams” to the “Tigers”, defeated Blackfoot High School 20-7 in his first game. He would go on to coach eight seasons, leading the Bengals to a 25-24-1 record. He also is credited with starting ISU’s first booster organization, the “I” Club, as well as helping the school adopt the nickname “Bengals” in 1927.

Novem-ber 18, 1931. Plasty’s Boys Plaster Mon-tana-West-e rn . The 1931 squad headed to Dillon, Mon-tana for the season fina-le at Mon-tana-West-ern with a 6-1 record. I n I d a h o S t a t e ’ s f i rst seven

games the team had scored 112 points. Against the overmatched Bulldogs, they nearly doubled that total as the Bengals ran all over the place, but mostly in the end zone as they delivered the school’s all-time shel-

lacking, handing Western a 111-0 pasting. While it had to be fun, it probably was old hat for head coach Felix Plas-tino, who saw his Bengals run up 103 points against Montana-Western on Homecoming just one year ear-lier.

N o v e m b e r 1935. The Great-est Defense Ever Closes Out the Season. Under first

year head coach Guy Wicks, Idaho State’s 1935 Bengals were the first team to play an entire season of at least eight games without a loss, going 7-0-1, but it was ISU’s defense from that squad that will go down as the best in school history. Over the eight game season, the Bengals pitched four shutouts, allowing just 26 points and four touchdowns all season. The defense actually was a carry over from the 1934 squad, as those two teams combined to allow a paltry 57 points over 15 games with seven shutouts.

October 29, 1937. Dubby Holt’s Record Return. Idaho State’s 1937 Homecoming victory over the College of Idaho was like most of ISU’s other early Homecoming wins, except for the play of Dubby Holt. The man who raced Jesse Owens to a dead heat took a punt on his own 12-yard line, and left everyone in a cloud of dust. When he finally stopped 88 yards later, he owned the longest punt return for a touchdown in school history. In the following 71 years, that record hasn’t been topped, and it is still the longest standing individual record in ISU football history.

October, 1940. Atkinson’s Last Gasp Pass Stuns Albion. In a game that featured four lead changes, it was the last that was the most dramatic. Trailing 26-24, the Bengals had moved into Albion territory with a chance for one final play. In an era where the forward pass wasn’t used by the Bengals all that much, tailback George Atkinson took a pitch and lofted a pass down field and into the end zone, where Pete Gallagher came down with it after the official’s gun went off to signal the end of the game. That late score is the first recorded walk-off winning play in ISU’s history, and it gave ISU a 31-26 win.

September 30, 1950. Lyle Andersen’s Sneak Surprises Everyone. Senior quarter-back Lyle Andersen might be Idaho State’s least likely 100-yard rusher ever. In a home game against Western State, the Bengals found themselves backed up on their own 1-yard line. Head coach John Vesser called for a quarterback sneak up the middle by Andersen to clear some room on first down.

Andersen plowed past his center, and found the field wide open. Amazingly, Andersen went untouched 99 yards for a touchdown, demoralizing Western State and setting the stage for a 53-13 win. Andersen would rush for 109 yards in the contest.

October 11, 1952. Williams wasn’t the best, but he was the first. Idaho State has gained a reputation for producing some of college football’s best kickers and punters, but that tradition began way back in 1952, during Idaho State’s first-ever undefeated season. Carl Williams, a defensive back and a running back by trade kicked a field goal in Idaho State’s 17-6 win over Colorado College. That field goal was the first ever in the history of the storied Bengal program.

September 27, 1958. Babe Caccia Be-comes ISU’s Winningest Coach. Entering the 1958 season, the Bengals were coming off a fourth conference title, and 13 consecutive wins. Also entering the 1958 season, Babe Caccia had won 41 games in his ISU coach-ing career, equaling the total of the man he replaced, John Vesser, for the most in school history. Opening against the Eastern Wash-ington Eagles, and led by All-American guard Dee Pankratz, the Bengals won 30-7, and Caccia would go on to win 37 more games, giving him 79 in his brilliant 11-year career.

September 27, 1958. The Koetter Era Be-gins. The 1958 season opener against Eastern Washington marked the college debut of what can be called the first family of ISU foot-

The 1902 team was Idaho State’s first, and they were a perfect 5-0 on the season.

The 1931 Bengals put up a 111-spot on Montana-Western.

ball. Jim Koetter lettered in both 1958-59, the first member of the Koetter family to touch ISU football. Jim later coached the Bengals for five years, leading ISU to their second playoff berth. Two of his sons also played for ISU. Dirk Koetter was a quarterback on the 1981 national championship team, and is currently the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brent Koetter twice led Idaho State in interceptions and later coached both Pocatello and Highland High School to state football titles.

September 19, 1959. The Bengals partici-pate in Hawaiian History. In 1959, America grew from 48 to 50 states with the addition of Alaska and Hawaii to the United States. Hawaii, the 50th state, turned out to be Idaho State’s football opponent on Statehood Day. The Rainbows, missing the big celebration back home, had their own at Davis Field as they defeated the Bengals 14-8. Unfazed by the loss, the Bengals wound up winning the final six games of the season, claiming their fifth and final Rocky Mountain Conference championship.

October 8, 1960. The Defense Goes on the Offensive. The 1960 Homecoming game against Colorado College was a 77-8 blitzing by the Bengals, a game that still holds the record for ISU’s largest margin of victory at 69 points. However, the game also holds a differ-

ent distinction. In that game ISU recorded a record six inter-ceptions, and they returned three of those for touchdowns, including an 82-yard score b y B u r d e t t e Mallack and a 97-yard return by LeRoy Rus-sell. The three scores meant ISU’s defense actually out-scored Colo-rado College’s offense three touchdowns to one.

November 9, 1963. A Rivalry is Born. The 1963 meeting between Idaho State and Weber State might have been the second meeting between the two schools, but it was the beginning of a rivalry. Trailing 26-8, the Bengals reeled off the final 28 points, includ-ing 20 in the fourth quarter as the Bengals clinched the first-ever Big Sky Conference football title with a 36-26 victory.

November 23, 1963. The Bengals Pause to Remember. The 1963 season was one in which the Bengals began play in the Big Sky Conference, winning the first ever Sky title. The season ended with a 5-3 record, but Idaho State’s ninth game was supposed to be against Wichita State, the first meeting ever between the two programs. That meeting never took place. The game was cancelled that week as Pocatello, and all of America mourned the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The game was never made up, and the two teams never faced each other again.

September 20, 1969. The Flea Buzzes Parsons College. In the 1969 season opening win over Parsons College, Ed “The Flea” Bell torched the competition for a school record

261 yards re-ceiving and a record four touchdowns. Bell’s opening onslaught set the stage for his record set-ting 1969 sea-son in which he set single s e a s o n r e -cords with 20 touchdowns a n d 1 , 5 2 2 yards, and 96

catches, num-b e r s w h i c h may never be equaled.

September 26, 1970. The Birth of Dome Field Advantage. The brainchild of then Athletic Director Milton ‘Dubby’ Holt, the ASISU Minidome, as it was originally named, opened for ISU football with a game against the UNLV Rebels. What transpired was a 64-34 Bengal win in a slugfest. Ken Warren grabbed a career-high 151 receiving yards in a game that still stands as an ISU record for points in a game at Holt Arena.

December 1972. Steve Beller Becomes ISU’s First Academic All-American. The 1972 Bengals under Bob Griffin were successful on the field at 7-3, and kicker Steve Beller proved successful on and off it. Beller hit on 29-of-32 extra points and 6-of-10 field goals during the year, but his work in the classroom earned him Academic All-American honors from the Col-lege Sports Information Directors of America, becoming the first Idaho State football player to earn football’s highest academic honor.

September 24, 1977. Eastern Montana Lays an Egg. Just looking at the final score among the seasons, Idaho State’s 47-15 win over Eastern Montana in 1977 seems like a blip on a non-stellar 3-8 season, but it’s what’s not there that is so amazing. Despite needing to pass to make a comeback, the Bengals held Eastern Montana to zero yards passing. Even

more amazing, the Bengals didn’t even allow a completion. That never happened before, and it hasn’t happened since.

September 2, 1978. Domo Arigato, Mr. Osaka. There are home games, there are road games, there are neutral site games, and then there is the 1978 season opener. Idaho State and Utah State, located just 90 miles apart, opened the 1978 season….in Osaka, Japan. As part of a cultural exchange, the two programs traveled half-way around the world to open the season. The travel took its toll on both teams as the Bengals dropped a sloppy game to Utah State 10-0. The travel took its toll com-ing back too as ISU was shutout the next week, although they finally broke into the win column in their home opener, beating Portland State 27-13.

November 11, 1978. Talk About the Defense Not Showing Up. Idaho State’s trip to the University of Idaho for a late 1978 Big Sky game figured to be a leisurely one hour flight. Head Coach Bud Hake had two planes to take the team, offense on one plane, the defense on the other. An hour later the offense’s plane touched down, but the defense’s plane never left the runway in Pocatello. Mechanical problems forced the cancellation of the flight, and since the team left the day of the game, the Bengals were forced to take a loss, 2-0, against the Vandals, although it was officially recorded by NCAA as a “no contest”.

September 27, 1980. The Beginning of a New Era. Before the Bengals could become the greatest, they had to learn how to win, and that moment came early in 1980. In just the third game under new head coach Dave Kragthorpe, the Bengals ended a 19-game losing streak, at the time the longest in I-AA history, with a 59-33 thrashing of Portland State and their five receiver run-and-shoot offense. After 20 games, the Bengals finally tasted victory, and just 20 games later, they would taste a national championship.

The Bengals dive over for a touchdown against Eastern Washington in 1958, the first game as a bengal for Jim

Koetter, jump-starting the Koetter dynasty at Idaho State.

The 1963 team took part in two major moments in ISU football history, the first ever Division I game with Weber State, and the postponement of the final game of the season due to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

November 21, 1981. Case DeBruijn’s Kick Ends an Epic Battle. For the finale of the 1981 season, Idaho State and Weber State met at Holt Arena for the Big Sky title. ISU survived a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Weber State, and the game came down to overtime. After surviving again, this on a missed 32-yard field goal by Roger Ruzek that would have won it for the Wildcats in the second over-time, Hall of Fame kicker Case DeBruijn nailed a 33-yard field goal at the end of the third overtime to give ISU a 33-30 win and the Big Sky title in the longest game in ISU history.

December 19, 1981. The Bengals Reach the Pinnacle. Idaho State climbed the long road back from worst to first as All-American quarterback Mike Machurek threw for 330 yards, the last of his eight career 300-yard games as the Bengals de-feated Eastern Kentucky 34-23 in Wichita Falls, Texas to win the I-AA National Cham-pionship. The win capped a remarkable turnaround from an 0-11 season just two years prior.

November 23, 1985. Merril Hoge Becomes ISU’s First 1,000-yard Rusher. Heading into the 1985 season finale against Eastern Washing-ton, Pocatello native Merril Hoge had rushed for 892 yards, and he needed nine yards to better his school record for rushing yards in a season. He also needed 108 to become the first Bengal to ever rush for 1,000 yards. De-spite a 42-21 loss, Hoge did his part, rushing for 149 yards, his second-best single-game total ever to get to 1,041 yards, becoming the first ISU rusher to 1,000 yards. To date, he is just one of four to accomplish the feat.

September 12, 1987. A Good Ol’ Fash-ioned Texas Shootout. The season opener between Idaho State and Texas A&I (now Texas A&M Kingsville) kept the scoreboard operator busy the entire night. The two teams combined for the first combined 100-point game in Holt Arena history as the Javalinas defeated the Bengals 52-51 in a classic game. Big efforts abounded, including a 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and 100 yards receiving by Butch Caston and a 103-yard rushing effort by Corky Federico. Despite ISU’s record 28-point third quarter outburst, ISU fell a point short.

November 10, 1990. Jason’s Back One Last Time. Jason Whitmer, ISU’s starting quar-terback from 1987-90, won just nine games in his career, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Whitmer threw for 300 yards a record 12 times, including a 336-yard perfor-mance in his last win, a 30-27 deci-sion over Mesa State. Whitmer’s four year career ended with ISU career records for yards, attempts, c o m p l e t i o n s , touchdowns and of course, 300-yard games.

September 12, 1992. The Globe of Death. The Philadelphia Eagles have “The Miracle at the Meadowlands”, the San Francisco 49ers have “The Catch”, but the Idaho State Ben-gals have “The Globe of Death”. After Boise State scored a touchdown with 22 seconds left to give the Broncos what seemed like a 20-17 win, BSU kicked off, and the Bengals pulled out their bag of tricks. After Carlos Reed received the squib kick, all 11 players huddled together and then sprinted out in different directions. Robert Johnson actually had the ball and returned it to the BSU 42-yard line, and a personal foul moved the ball into field goal range (the play was confusing for the statisticians too, as Sylvester Jones was officially credited with the return). Going for the win, backup quarterback Paul Putnam hit Rommie Wheeler for a touchdown with five seconds left for an improbable 24-20 win.

September 21, 1996. Marcus Jackson Suf-fers a Tragic Injury. It was a simple tackle late in the first half of an otherwise non-descript 47-0 rout of Montana-Western. It was a tackle that would change a life and touch a com-munity. Marcus Jackson suffered a traumatic spinal injury on the tackle, becoming para-lyzed from the neck down. Jackson, however, returned to school the following year, and in the summer of 1999, he truly became one of the most heroic figures in ISU history when he battled to earn a bachelor’s degree, despite what some would say was an insurmountable handicap. Insurmountable to most, but not to Marcus Jackson.

November 16, 1996. Ed Coleman’s Shin-ing Moment. Ed Coleman played only one season for Idaho State University, as a reserve running back who basically was not even on the two-deep during the season. But, pressed into service in the next-to-last game of 1996, Coleman had his day in the sun as he rushed for 232 yards against Portland State, the sec-ond-most in school history at that time. The game would prove to be the only 100-yard rushing game of Coleman’s career.

October 23, 1997. James Ferrell Kicks ISU into an Inadvertent Controversy. Leading 43-31 over Southern Utah with four seconds left, Idaho State k i c k e r J a m e s Ferrell stood on the sidelines with four made field goals, seemingly settling for a tie of the ISU single-game record. However, head coach Tom Walsh called timeout to allow Ferrell, a fifth-year senior, an opportunity to set the record. Ferrell kicked that record breaking field goal, but Walsh’s timeout infuriated Thun-de rb i rd head coach C. Ray Gregory , who felt that ISU had tried to run up the score. Gregory publicly announced he was giving up potatoes for a year, and he would only eat them again after defeating ISU the next season. Gregory’s po-tato fast lasted another year as ISU dealt the T-Birds a 50-33 loss the following season.

September 19, 1998. A Game Without a Touchdown. Big Sky football usually means lots of offense and lots of scoring, unless it’s the 1998 meeting between the Bengals and the Weber State Wildcats. Despite a 254-yard rushing effort by Wildcat Morgan Welch, neither the Wildcats nor the Bengals could find the endzone. Weber State got two Scott Shields field goals, and ISU got only a Pete Garces field goal in a 6-3 loss to Weber State. The game remains the only game in Holt Arena history without a touchdown be-ing scored.

November 21, 1998. Pete Garces’s Big Boot. Pete Garces was a late signee to the Idaho State roster, but he might have been 1998’s most important. Possessing arguably the strongest leg in school history, Garces would go on to tie an NCAA record for most career 50-yard field goals with 11. In the ’98 finale against Cal State Northridge, ISU tight end Robert McBride dropped a sure touch-down pass on third down from the Matador 42. With the crowd still buzzing, Peter Garces trotted out for a 60-yard field goal. The ball was hit with such force that it crossed the goalposts midway up, giving him the longest I-AA field goal without a tee at that time. The points were the difference in the season ending 32-29 win.

September 4 & 11, 1999. The Mackay Missile Runs Rampant. Entering 1999, junior running back Nick Whitworth wanted to show ISU’s new coaching staff he could be an impact running back. Mission accom-plished. Whitworth opened the season with a 221-yard effort against Eastern Oregon, the most rushing yards by an ISU back in Holt Arena history, bettering the old record that had stood for eight years. Whitworth’s record never made it to eight days as he rolled up a Holt and school record 273 yards on the ground against Ft. Lewis the very next week.

His 494 yards in back-to-back games easily stands as a school record.

October 16 and 23, 1999. McCarthy’s Back-to-Back Explosion. The son of ISU Hall of Fame tight end John McCarthy, quarterback Kevin McCarthy spent most of his career as a back-up quarterback, but he was thrust into a starting role in 1999, and Mc-Carthy showed everyone what he could do. Mc-Carthy threw for the second-most yards in ISU history with a 477-yard p e r f o r m a n c e against Eastern Washington. Just one week later, McCarthy was at it again, throwing for 553 yards against Southern Utah. The 1,030 yards ranks as the most ever by an ISU quarterback in back-to-back games.

September 9, 2000. A Personal Come-back for DeRonn Finley. In an otherwise for-gettable 58-10 season opening thrashing of Montana Tech, DeRonn Finley returned to the Bengal lineup nearly two years after suffering multiple leg fractures in a spring break car ac-cident that claimed the life of his teammate Jacori Rufus. Finley, who was told he would never walk again, would go on to lead the 2000 team in receptions, receiving yards, punt return average, kickoff return average, and all-purpose yards and was a finalist for the Disney Most Inspirational Athlete Award.

November 18, 2000. Nick Whitworth’s Career Capper Quite the Effort. The Mackay Missile, running back Nick Whitworth, ended his career in grand style. With ISU at 5-5, the Bengals traveled to frozen Logan, Utah for a fi-nale with 5-5 Utah State. Whitworth rushed for 201 yards, and caught a critical seven-yard

pass on 4th-and-7 that led to the go ahead touchdown as the Bengals shocked the FBS Aggies 27-24. Whitworth’s 200-yard game was the third of his career, a school record.

November 16, 2002. Eddie Johnson’s Record Setting Night. Punter Eddie Johnson entered his final career home game with one last shot to set a Holt Arena punting record. He ended up setting five. Johnson uncorked six punts for a ridiculous 61.5-yard average, and a 61.3-yard net average, setting both ISU and NCAA single-game records in the process. Included in those six punts were a 67-yard boot, a 70-yard boot, and a Holt Arena record tying 80-yard kick, which traveled off his foot at the ISU 8-yard line and landed on the Cal Poly 10 before bounding through the end zone, past the Bengal Dancers, and off the wall beyond the field of play. Johnson was eventually drafted in the sixth round by the Minnesota Vikings in 2003 NFL Draft.

October 4, 2003. Idaho State and Eastern Washington Ignite Offensive Fireworks. It was what Big Sky football was all about….offense. Idaho State and Eastern Washington hooked up for 958 yards, 165 plays, 15 touchdowns, 107 points, and one heck of a comeback. Down 42-28 with just over five minutes left, the Bengals scored and forced an Eagle punt. Emery Beckles returned it 65 yards, setting up the tying touchdown with three minutes left. Running back Isaac Mitchell gave the Bengals a 55-52 win in the second overtime with the team’s eighth and final touchdown of the night.

October 18, 2003. Mark Hetherington’s Heroics Cap a Homecoming Epic. In a game that will go down as one of the all-time clas-sics, the Bengals ended 10 years of frustration with a 43-40 double overtime win over fifth-ranked Montana. In a game that featured six lead changes and six ties, the Griz tied the game at 34 on a 54-yard field goal with no time left. After both teams traded field goals, Montana was up 40-37 in the second overtime when quarterback Mark Hethering-ton, who threw for 398 yards in the contest, found sophomore Shedrack Okoebor for a

13-yard touchdown, giving the Bengals a 43-40 win, and the capacity crowd a Homecoming to remember.

December 17, 2003. Jared Allen Wins the Buchanan Award. Jared Allen’s 2003 season was monstrous by anyone’s stan-dards, leading the nation with a school record 17.5 sacks. Allen also led the na-tion in forced fumbles, and ranked third in tackles for losses. His season’s crown-ing moment however came off the field, when he was awarded the Buck Buchan-an Award as the national best defensive player in I-AA football. He became Idaho State’s first major college football award winner, and was later drafted in the fourth round by the Kansas City Chiefs, which in-terestingly, is where Buck Buchanan spent most of his professional career.

November 6, 2005. Jaret Johnson’s Miracle Kick. Things looked bleak when Portland State’s Eric Azorr kicked a field goal for a 34-33 Viking lead, and ISU got the ball at their own 35 with no time outs and 23 seconds left. However, the Bengals ran off five plays, including a key 12-yard completion by Matt Hagler to Akilah Lacey to the PSU 37 with seven sec-onds left. Out trotted senior kicker Jaret Johnson, who was having an All-American season, other than a signature kick. John-son lined up for a career-long 54-yarder, and drilled it home, giving the Bengals a 36-34 win, and Johnson the longest game-winning kick in Idaho State history. It also gave him his signature kick on the way to First Team All-American honors.

Pete Garces tied the NCAA record for the longest field goal without a tee when he kicked this 60-yard field goal against Cal State Northridge in the 1998 season finale, a win that knocked Northridge from the I-AA

playoffs.

Kevin McCarthy had the greatest back-to-back passing games ever

by an ISU quarterback.

1981 NCAA I-AA SemifinalsIdaho State 41, South Carolina State 12

Saturday, December 12, at Holt ArenaIdaho State rolled up 609 yards of total offense and forced four turnovers in a 51-0 whitewashing of Rhode Island

in the quarterfinals of the I-AA appearance, recording the first shutout in their I-AA playoff history. Quarterback Mike Machurek tossed three touchdowns and had 353 yards passing on the night to pace the Bengals, who scored 35 points in the second half. Rhode Island completed just 14-of-38 passes, and tossed four interceptions while being forced to punt 12 times. ISU’s Charles Ewing was stellar with six catches for 160 yards and a touchdown.SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 4 OT PTSRhode Island .....................................................................0 0 0 0 — 0Idaho State .......................................................................7 9 14 21 — 51TEAM — SCORING PLAY QTR.-LEFTISU — Dwain WIlson 5 run (Case deBruijn kick) ......................................................... 1-10:41ISU — Charles Ewing 10 pass from Mike Machurek (kick failed) .............................. 2-7:32ISU — deBruijn 28 FG ...................................................................................................... 2-3:10ISU — Rod Childs 28 pass from Machurek (deBruijn kick) ......................................... 3-9:26ISU — Jerry Bird 20 pass from Machurek (deBruijn kick) ............................................ 3-3:03ISU — Mike Holliday 6 run (deBruijn kick) ................................................................... 4-13:32ISU — Dave Vandergriff 16 pass from Dirk Koetter (deBruijn kick).......................... 4-10:03ISU — Vandergriff 30 pass from Keith Simons (deBruijn kick)..................................... 4-2:02Missed FGs: ISU-deBruijn 52 (SH).

Idaho State bolted out to a 28-9 first half lead on the way to winning the I-AA National Championship 34-23 over Eastern Kentucky. The title was the third NCAA title for the institution, following boxing in 1953 and 1957. Idaho State got a lift from an unlikely source in backup quarterback Dirk Koetter, who threw for a first down on a fake punt to lead ISU to their first score. Trailing 9-7 early in the second, Mike Machurek led three straight scoring drives of 52, 80, and 38 yards, tossing two touchdowns in the process for a 28-9 halftime edge. The Bengals were up 28-16 when ISU put the game away with an eight play, 74-yard drive capped by a short Lamar Fite run two seconds into the fourth quarter. The Bengals then chewed up nearly 10 minutes of the remaining clock time and were crowned champions of I-AA football.SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 4 OT PTSEastern Kentucky ..............................................................3 6 7 7 — 23Idaho State .......................................................................7 21 0 6 — 34TEAM — SCORING PLAY ...............................................................................................................................................QTR.-LEFTEKU — Lovett 21 FG ...........................................................................................................................................................1-7:44ISU — Chris Corp 17 pass from Mike Machurek (Case deBruijn kick) .........................................................................1-3:07EKU — Hairston 3 run (kick failed) ..................................................................................................................................2-14:11ISU — Dwain Wilson 6 run (deBruijn kick) .....................................................................................................................2-12:05ISU — Charles Ewing 9 pass from Machurek (deBruijn kick) ........................................................................................2-4:21ISU — Wilson 4 run (deBruijn kick) ...................................................................................................................................2-0:42EKU — Yeast 2 run (Lovett kick) ........................................................................................................................................3-5:17ISU — Lamar Fite 2 run (pass failed) .............................................................................................................................4-14:58EKU — Yeast 4 run (Lovett kick) ........................................................................................................................................4-8:13Missed FGs: ISU-deBruijn 42 (WR).

Idaho State’s return to the I-AA playoffs was ruined by Big Sky foe Nevada, who handed the Bengals their only playoff loss ever, 27-20 in Holt Arena. The Wolf Pack got four field goals from future NFL kicker Tony Zendejas, including a Holt Arena opponent-record 56-yarder to open the scoring. Down 14-0 at the break, ISU mounted a strong comeback, and a pair of Paul Peterson touchdown passes in the third quarter to cut the margin to 14-13, but Zendejas kicked two more field goals sandwiched around a 37-yard Stan Cagle touchdown. ISU cut it to 27-20 with 5:23 left on a Rod Gilner touchdown run, and then recovered a fumble in Nevada territory, but ISU threw four straight incompletions from the 19-yard line. ISU had a last gasp drive from their own 45 in the final minute, but four more incompletions ended the game.SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 4 OT PTSNevada .............................................................................3 11 3 10 — 27Idaho State .......................................................................0 0 13 7 — 20TEAM — SCORING PLAY .........................................................................................................................................QTR.-LEFTUNR — Tony Zendejas 56 FG ....................................................................................................................................... 1-8:09UNR — Otto Kelly 3 run (Scott Threde pass from Eric Beavers) .............................................................................. 1-7:03UNR — Zandejas 37 FG ............................................................................................................................................... 1-4:06ISU — Ron Gilner 5 pass from Paul Peterson (Perry Larson kick) .......................................................................... 2-9:52ISU — Blake Stamper 19 pass from Peterson (kick failed) ..................................................................................... 2-6:04UNR — Zendejas 53 FG ............................................................................................................................................. 3-13:32UNR — Stan Cagle 37 pass from Beavers (Zendejas kick) ...................................................................................... 3-8:54UNR — Zendejas 17 FG ............................................................................................................................................... 3-1:58ISU — Gilner 1 run (Larson kick) ................................................................................................................................ 4-5:23Missed FGs: UNR-Zendejas 52 (WR).

Bengal FOOTBALL


The 1957 squad was ISC’s second-ever undefeated, untied team, going a perfect 9-0 en route to their fourth conference championship. The Bengals scored at least 22 points in all but one game, and al-

lowed more than 13 just once. ISC’s only close call was in game seven, a tense 7-6 win over Northern Colorado. ISC ended the season with a 34-21 win over the College of Idaho.

The 1952 squad was ISC’s first undefeated, untied team, as well as the school’s first conference champion. The Bengals outscored their eight opponents 233-85, and they clinched their perfect

conference season with a 35-12 win over Montana State. One week later the Bengals nipped Lewis and Clark 21-18 for a perfect season. A note to the season; in ISC’s 17-6 win over Colorado College, defensive back Carl Williams kicked the school’s first-ever field goal from a placekick. Previously ISU

had dropkicked all of their field goals.

The 1953 Bengals went 6-2 but were perfect in the conference in becoming ISU’s only repeat confer-ence champion. The Bengals saw their winning streak end at eight in the season opener when

Eastern Washington nipped the Bengals 14-6. ISC then won three games by a total of 19 points over Colorado College 27-20, Colorado Mines 30-21, and Colorado State 10-7. The Bengals then suffered a loss to the College of Idaho before taking out Montana State and Western State, giving ISU a per-

fect 5-0 conference mark, despite winning all five games by an average of less than eight points.

The 1955 Bengals go down as possibly the best defensive team in school history. The Bengals won three of their first four games by shutout, and later added a fourth shutout. Only a final game loss to Omaha prevented a perfect season, still the Bengal defense allowed 70 points for the season, just 7.8 points per

game.

The 1959 squad went the difficult route to a conference championship, winning their final six games after dropping the first two of the season. After losing 16-7 to Northern Arizona and 14-8 to Hawai’i on State-hood Day, the Bengals rebounded with a 32-7 win over Western State. Back-to-back shutouts followed

over Omaha (33-0) and Montana State (6-0 on Homecoming). The Bengals then took out Colorado College 14-8 and the College of Idaho 28-21 setting up a final end of season showdown for the title with

Northern Colorado, which ISC won 32-13, clinching championship #5.

Despite a 5-3 overall record, ISU won the first-ever Big Sky title with some late heroics against arch-rival Weber State. ISU won their opener over Nevada 36-19 before dropping a road game at Omaha 19-6. The Bengals won three straight, over Northern Arizona 13-2, Montana 14-13, and Montana State 19-15

before losing to Drake 15-12. ISU then trailed Weber State 26-8 before scoring 28 straight points, includ-ing 20 in the fourth quarter to clinch the title, despite a loss to Idaho the next week. ISU’s final game of

1963 against Wichita was cancelled due to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The Bengals won their first conference title since 1981 (see page 20) as they shared the title with Montana and Montana State by going 5-2. ISU got a key road win at Eastern Washington, and swept all four conference opponents at home on the way to a 6-0 Holt arena mark and an 8-3

overall record. ISU’s Homecoming win over Montana State was a thriller, as the Bengals won 18-14 after trailing 14-6 in the fourth. MSU was stopped at the ISU 4-yard line as time ran out, and ISU also

blanked Weber State 34-0, the Bengals’ first conference shutout in 22 years.

Dr. Arthur VailasPresident, Idaho State University

Arthur C. Vailas, Ph.D., became the 12th president of Idaho State University on July 1, 2006.President Vailas came to Idaho State University from the University of Houston, where he had held the dual role of vice president for research and

intellectual property management, and vice chancellor for research of the University of Houston System. He also held a joint appointment at UH as ten-ured professor of mechanical engineering, and biology and biochemistry. He held a distinguished chair in the latter discipline. By the time he left UH, that university’s research productivity had grown 400 percent, and UH possessed an impressive intellectual-property portfolio.

His skill at developing successful collaborative initiatives helped him obtain funding to establish a number of interdisciplinary research and teaching centers of excellence. One example: the innovative Texas Learning and Computation Center, established with $5.3 million in state and federal funding. TLC2, as it is called, provides a forum in which diverse information-technology projects from across campus come together under a single roof. Its facilities are a fully integrated, state-of-the-art telecommunications infrastructure and learning complex where technology-based applications are developed and deployed.

Dr. Vailas successfully negotiated an unprecedented affiliation agreement with the University of Houston, The Methodist Hospital—a major teaching and research hospital in Houston—and Cornell University Medical College. The agreement facilitates collaborative teaching and research among these institutions.

A particularly important accomplishment was Dr. Vailas’s involvement in organizing the multistate, collaborative organization Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA), and his appointment in 2002 to the RPSEA executive board. RPSEA works to help meet America’s need for technology to commercially develop its ultra-deepwater and un-conventional onshore hydrocarbon resources in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner. RPSEA received $100 million in funding per year for 10 years from the U.S. Department of Energy. It is one of the largest national programs for oil and gas exploration and production.

Among the important honors Dr. Vailas received while at the University of Houston was a congressional appointment to the national board of the nonprofit Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Research Center. He was later elected vice chairman. The NUATRC, a research facility, gathers scientific information on the human-health effects caused by exposure to air toxics. The center’s research program, developed collaboratively by scientific experts from academia, industry and government, seeks to fill the gaps in scientific data that are required to make sound environmental-health public-policy decisions. In 2002, Texas Gov. Rick Perry appointed Dr. Vailas to the Texas Council on Environmental Technology.

Prior to joining the University of Houston, Dr. Vailas held a succession of academic and administrative positions at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, advancing rapidly through the academic ranks. Within three years he was promoted from associate to full professor in the department of kinesiology in the College of Education. He received joint appointments as professor of surgery, in the College of Medicine Division of Orthopedic Surgery, and professor in the College of Agriculture’s department of poultry science. Throughout his time at Madison, 1988 – 1995, he also was director of the university’s Biodynamics Laboratory. He was a mentor to many master’s and doctoral students, an experience that deepened his com-mitment to putting students first.

President Vailas’s successful academic career began at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1982. He was hired that year as assistant professor in the department of physiological science. He was promoted to associate professor in 1988. A personal milestone came for him and his wife, Laura, in 1984 with the birth of their daughter, Alexandra.

President Vailas’s Ph.D. degree, from the University of Iowa, is in connective tissue physiology. He completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at Iowa that was funded by a National Institutes of Health National Research Service Award, and he was a research fellow of orthopedic surgery. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree magna cum laude in exercise physiology at the University of New Hampshire, which he attended on a football scholarship.

President Vailas’s academic credentials include authorship of numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles and publications. He also has been principal investigator in many projects supported by federal grants. He has been a consultant to national health care-related businesses and institutions, and numerous national boards and advisory groups have benefited from his service.

Over the course of his career, President Vailas has garnered numerous professional awards. Among them is the International Scholars Award from the University of Houston, and Outstanding Science Achievement Awards from NASA for COSMOS #2229, U.S.-Russian Space Program; and the U.S.-Russian Life Sciences Mission COSMOS #2044. Elected to the NASA Life Sciences Advisory Subcommittee, he served as study section chairman for the American Institute for the Biological Sciences on space biology. In 1988, the National Academy of Sciences Com-mission on Engineering and Technical Systems elected him to the National Research Council.

The native of Manchester, New Hampshire, is the eldest of five sons and a daughter of Greek immigrants. Laura Vailas, Ph.D., is a former associate dean in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the Uni-versity of Houston.

The Idaho State athletic depart-ment has a storied past sprinkled with Olympians, pro athletes, NCAA and Big Sky champions as well as All-Americans.

On the National StageIn the 100-plus year history of ISU

athletics, the teams have totaled 29 NCAA post-season appearances and one AIAW showing. Probably the most visible of those appear-ances culminated in the Bengals winning the NCAA Division I football championship in 1981.

Bengal athletes have also earned 18 NCAA individual championships, including 16 in boxing, a sport which was discontinued by the NCAA in 1961.

Ninety-eight Bengals have gar-nered national recognition in the form of All-America honors, since re-cords were kept. Forty-six footballers along with 50 individuals from the track and cross country programs have received the prestigious ath-letic award. One Bengal, Jared Allen, has also garnered ISU’s only National Player of the Year Award, as he was named the 2003 Buck Buchanan Award winner.

In the ConferenceI d a h o S t a t e h a s b e e n

successful on the conference level, tallying 71 Big Sky post-season ap-pearances including 38 champion-ship titles. The Bengal track/cross country program has nabbed 21 Big Sky team titles dating back to the 1963-64 season - the most of any ISU

program.

Before jo in ing the B ig Sky Conference, ISU also boasted 29 more postseason conference appearances, 12 in men’s basket-ball, nine in track and five in football as a member of the Rocky Mountain Conference as well as three in vol-leyball as a part of the Mountain West Athletic Conference. Of those 29 appearances, the Bengals took home 26 titles, nine each in men’s basketball and track, five in football and two in volleyball.

Individual Bengal athletes have also found success on the Big Sky level, snagging 298 conference titles overall. ISU tracksters have garnered 276 of those titles, while men’s and women’s tennis athletes have con-tributed 20 to the total and men’s and women’s golf have one each to its credit.

On Top of the WorldIdaho State’s reach has not

ended with the college ranks as several ISU athletes have gone on to the professional and elite ranks in their respective sports.

NBA teams have picked up 15 Idaho State hoopsters since 1963, while 39 Bengals have played, or are currently playing in the NFL.

The Arena Football League has claimed several Bengals on its rosters while over 20 former ISU play-ers have suited up in the Canadian Football League. Idaho State players have also been well represented in the Indoor Pro Football League, the

National Indoor Football League, the Arena Football League, and one Bengal even strapped on an XFL helmet. Over 10 Bengals have also played in AF2.

But ISU’s cream of the crop athletes have made it to the highest level of competition in the world; the Olympic Games. Elev-en Bengals beginning in the 1952

Games have represented ISU and their respective countries at the Olympics.

Four boxers, five track athletes and two coaches have competed for four different countries at eight different Olympic Games, high-lighted by Stacy Dragila winning gold in the inaugural women’s pole vault in Sydney, Australia.

The ISU Sports Hall of Fame was established in the 1960s by former athletic director John Vesser and other members of the athletic department staff. After moving from Reed Gym to Holt Arena, the Hall of Fame became inactive until 1977, when Bob Hilliard became president of the Alumni Board of Directors.

Chaired by Hall of Famer Glenn Alford, the Hall has enshrined 162 athletes since 1977.

In 1994, the Hall of Fame found a new home in the Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center, where photographs of each member hang.

The following guidelines have been established for admittance into the ISU Sports Hall of Fame:

1) A candidate must have attended the Academy of Idaho, Idaho Technical Institute, University of Idaho South-ern Branch, Idaho State College, or Idaho State University for at least one year.

2) A candidate must have excelled in one of the intercollegiate sports programs.

3) A candidate must have been out of school for at least ten years.

In addition, only members of the Sports Hall of Fame Selection Committee are eligible to vote for induc-tion, and consideration is given to nominees for recognition received, as well as contributions to the university, after leaving the institution.

WEEKLY PRESS CONFERENCEOnce a week during the football season,

head coach John Zamberlin will conduct a press conference in the Sports Information Office. They will begin the week prior to ISU’s first game of the 2009 season, on Mondays at 1:30 pm.

PRESS FACILITIESThe press box is located on the South

Side of Holt Arena. The three tiered press box houses all facets of print, radio, and television media members, as well as the official stat crew and game operations personnel.

Credentials are required in order to guarantee a seat, and must be requested

by the end of business on Wednesday the week of a game. If you’d like to be tremen-dously old-school, credential requests can be mailed to:

Frank MercoglianoAsst. A.D. for Media RelationsIdaho State UniversityCampus Box 8173Pocatello, ID 83209Requests can also be phoned to 208-

282-2621 or emailed (tremendously new-school) to [email protected], or faxed to 208-282-3659.

RADIO & TELEVISIONISU will provide space and credentials for

up to three radio members upon request. Each visiting radio station has two phone lines for their use. Television broadcast facilities are available with prior arrange-ment through Jeff Tingey, Athletic Director, and the Athletic Director of the opposing team.

PARKINGParking passes are available from the

Sports Information Office, and they will be sent to the visiting SID the week of the game. The passes will allow you to park on the South Side of Holt, closest to the media working areas.

NON-WORKING PRESS SEATINGArea and space in the press box is severe-

ly limited, so only credentialed media are allowed in the press area. Members of the media who have guests accompanying them to Holt Arena need to contact Frank Mercogliano to make arrangements.

SERVICESIdaho State athletic media relations pro-

vides each credentialed media member with pre-game statistics for each team, notes for each team, media information,

game programs, flip cards, and Big Sky Con-ference information.

The press box also contains an in-house public address system, which is used to broad-cast scores to the media as well as interesting notes and facts throughout the game for the media’s use.

ISU uses Stat Crew’s Automated Scorebook for Football, and provides the media with detailed play-by-play, and final offensive and defensive stats.

The post-game press room is located in the sports information office, located in the southwest corner of Holt Arena.

ISU’s locker room and training room is off limits to the media.

After games, the head coaches and one or two players from each team will address the media. Other players will be available for one-on-one interviews after the post-game formal interview sessions. The press room in the sports information office will be used for post-game filing. There are several telephone jacks and a fax machine that are available. Those print media wishing for a specific phone in the press box must call 208-282-4541 and order one prior to the game.

RELEASES & STATISTICSIdaho State’s statistics are updated right

after games and posted on the internet at www.isubengals.com. A weekly media release is disseminated to the media and posted on the internet approximately 2:30 pm on Mondays. The release is also emailed to all media members on ISU’s email lists for football. The conference release as well as the opponents’ weekly release is also sent out via ISU’s email list.

PHOTOGRAPHY/SIDELINE CONTROLAll photographers must work outside the

25-yard lines as dictated by NCAA rules. Photographers and media members are not allowed to linger in the team areas. Stew-ards are available on the field to help media members across the team areas to the other side of the field.

*Calling student-athletes or coaches at home is strictly prohibited.

*Starting the week of the first game, inter-views are cut off 20 minutes after Thursday’s practice. There are no interviews on Fridays or prior to game time on Saturday.

*Interviews with Coach Zamberlin are pre-ferred to be conducted after practice, which generally will start at 3:45 pm. The best time to get an interview with Coach Zamberlin prior to practice is around 3:15 pm.

*Interviews with players may take place before or after practice (preferred). Due to position meetings, all interview requests must be given to Frank Mercogliano by 5:00 pm the day prior to the interview. This will allow the SID to make sure the players will be available at the requested time.
