Idaho State’s 2015 football schedule has been finalized.
ISU’s game at Boise State has been moved from Saturday, Sept. 19, to Friday, Sept. 18. ISU sources say Boise State requested the game to be moved up one day, and the Bengals had no issue with adjusting.
The change of date means Idaho State will have one less day to prepare for the Broncos after hosting Portland State at Holt Arena on Sept. 12. On the other end of the spectrum, ISU has an extra day of preparation for UNLV on Sept. 26.
The Bengals kick-start the year with two games at home. ISU hosts Black Hills State on Sept. 5. Idaho State played the Yellow Jackets for the first time on Sept. 8, 2012, a 38-5 ISU victory.
Portland State arrives in Pocatello for an early-season Big Sky Conference game on Sept. 12. After that, the Bengals play four straight games on the road, including matchups at Boise State, UNLV, Cal Poly and North Dakota.
In that month-long span, the Bengals will travel roughly 5,700 miles, crisscrossing to western Idaho, southern Nevada, central California and eastern North Dakota.
Idaho State returns home to take on Eastern Washington for homecoming Oct. 17 and heads to Sacramento State on Oct. 24.
After a bye week, the Bengals square off against Montana and Montana State at home in back-to-back weekends. Idaho State rounds out the regular season Nov. 21 at Weber State.
ISU just finished up its 2015 recruiting class last week. The Bengals signed 23 players with a heavy emphasis on the defensive line and linebackers.
Idaho State went 8-4 a season ago and 6-2 in the Big Sky Conference. Over the past two months, ISU has lost offensive coordinator Don Bailey to the same position at Hawaii and inside wide receivers coach Mike Ferriter accepted a job at Montana.
