Idaho State (4-4, 2-3 Big Sky Conference) snapped a two-game losing streak and altered the school record books in Saturday’s 59-30 win over Portland State at Holt Arena. The win swings momentum for the final three-game stretch of the season, which begins Saturday at Montana State.

Below are the positives and negatives from Saturday’s win.

PLUS: Tanner Gueller

Idaho State’s signal caller has been a mainstay on this list the last few weeks.

Gueller completed 14 of 23 passes Saturday for 327 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The redshirt junior has eclipsed 300 yards passing in three of his last four games, with three passing scores in four of the last five games. He hasn’t thrown an interception since the first quarter of the Northern Colorado game on Sept. 23, bringing his pick-less streak to 142 pass attempts.

Gueller was inconsistent to start the season, throwing two interceptions in each of the first two games, while his completion percentage ranged from 50 to 60.6. In his last five games, Gueller has completed 88 of 146 passes (60.3 percent) for an average of 307 yards. He’s also found his deep-ball touch, connecting on passes of 70 yards or longer in three of his last four outings.

Gueller’s 20 touchdowns this season match last year’s total, and his 2,283 yards bring him 68 yards away from tying last season’s passing total. Saturday also marked the first game Gueller avoided being sacked this season.

“He’s, for the most part, gotten better every game,” Bengals coach Rob Phenicie said during his Monday press conference. “He’s anticipating (play) calls. … It’s something that you can’t get without game experience, and when you play over and over, you start to see things over and over.”

PLUS: Michael Dean and Mitch Gueller

ISU’s go-to receivers combined to catch nine of Gueller’s 14 completions, for 275 yards and two touchdowns, including Mitch’s 97-yard bomb from Tanner in the second quarter. The play is the longest pass play in ISU history.

Mitch and Dean have asserted themselves as premier pass catchers in the Big Sky Conference, both ranking in the top 10 in the league in receptions per game and receiving yards per game. Mitch has eclipsed 100 yards receiving in four of five games in which he’s caught a pass this season, with at least one touchdown in each, and Dean has found pay dirt in six of eight games.

Gueller has established himself as ISU’s top-flight deep threat, while Dean does his damage on short passes over the middle. Both players are on pace to surpass 800 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns. ISU last had multiple players reach those milestones when Madison Mangum and KW Williams did it in 2014.

PLUS: James Madison/Ty Flanagan

Idaho State’s running game was high-powered Saturday, as both James Madison and Ty Flanagan rushed for over 100 yards. ISU hadn’t had multiple ball carriers reach 100 yards in a game since Xavier Finney and Jakori Ford did it in 2014.

Madison rushed for 160 yards and one TD, netting 7 yards per carry. Flanagan spelled him for 108 yards and four end-zone trips. The two backs combined for 44 carries and 268 yards, good for a 6.1 yard-per-rush average.

The Bengals’ two-headed ground attack makes ISU’s rushing game more potent than it has been in years. ISU averages 186.6 yards rushing per game, the most since 2014 (213.9).

PLUS: Third-down conversions

ISU’s offense converted 11 of 16 third downs Saturday, following a 1-of-11 effort a week earlier at Sacramento State.

The Bengals have had trouble on third down all season, ranking ninth in the Big Sky with a conversion rate of 37.9 percent. ISU entered Saturday’s game at 33 percent on third down.

“It was execution,” Phenicie said Monday. “We just executed.”

MINUS: Attendance

ISU’s announced home crowd at Saturday’s game was 5,942, the second-lowest attendance this season at Holt Arena.

Idaho State averaged 5,859 fans per home game last year, when the team was 2-9 and riddled with inadequacies. Average home attendance is up to 6,430.25 this season, but Bengals fans are consistently sprinkling the multicolored seats with glaring openings.

ISU last finished a season with an average attendance of more than 7,000 in 2015, when the team went 2-9.
