ISU's 2015 football schedule taking shape

Idaho State opens the 2014 season with back-to-back games against Utah and Utah State, two quality Football Bowl Subdivision programs. The 2015 football schedule is talking on a similar tone.

Idaho State announced Wednesday that it will play at BYU on Oct. 24, 2015. It will be the fifth meeting between the Bengals and Cougars all time and the third since 2011. BYU leads the series 5-0.

ISU had already scheduled a game at Boise State on Sept. 19 in 2015, continuing a trend of the Bengals playing two “money games” every season. In 2013, Idaho State faced both Washington and BYU, and in 2012 the Bengals traveled to Air Force and Nebraska.

The last time Idaho State did not play a duo of FBS teams in the same season was 2007 when the Bengals played Oregon State.

ISU’s 2015 schedule is now set with the exception of at least one other nonconference game, most likely against a lower-division opponent in Holt Arena . At the moment, of Idaho State’s 10 games scheduled, six of them are on the road and the four home games are against Portland State, Eastern Washington, Montana and Montana State.

In 2016, ISU will also play at Colorado.
