Host Scott Gross sits down with Idaho State football coach Cody to break down the Bengals’ loss to Northern Arizona and preview their Homecoming matchup against Cal Poly. They discuss the team’s response to adversity, the importance of starting faster on offense, and the defensive and special-teams improvements needed against the Mustangs. The conversation also covers standout Bengal performances, Cal Poly’s explosive offense and aggressive defense, Jared Allen’s return to campus, and the unusual field-goal attempt that hit the ICCU Dome roof.
In part 2 of this week's show Idaho State women’s soccer coach Dustin Downey joins us for a look at the Bengals’ season and their push through Big Sky conference play. Scott and Dustin discuss how a challenging nonconference schedule has prepared a young, internationally diverse roster, the development of emerging players, and the leadership of the team’s veterans. Downey also shares the story of sisters finally getting to play together, offers insight into the Bengals’ goalkeeping corps, and previews home matchups against Southern Utah and Utah Tech at Davis Field. The conversation wraps up with a look at the program’s connections to Pocatello’s youth soccer community and the importance of earning points at home.
