10/15/2022 4:01:00 PM | Football
POCATELLO, Idaho -- Trailing by 23 points early in the third quarter, Cal Poly mounted a furious comeback, pulling to within six at 37-31 with 9:05 to play.
Idaho State, however, held Cal Poly on its final three drives and Ian Hershey kicked a 44-yard field goal with two seconds left for a 40-31 victory in a Big Sky Conference football game Saturday afternoon inside Holt Arena.

Cal Poly got the ball back three times for a potential game-winning drive, but the Mustangs were forced to punt on the first drive and Brasch was intercepted for the third and fourth times on their remaining two drives of the contest.
Idaho State improved to 1-6 overall and 1-3 in Big Sky games with the win while Cal Poly fell to 1-5 and 0-3.

The 13-yard scoring toss from Brasch to Garwood early in the fourth period completed a 58-yard drive that was kept alive by a 13-yard completion to Zion Hall and a 16-yarder from Brasch to Coleman. The final Mustang touchdown drive, capped by Brasch's 24-yard pass to Centers, was highlighted by a Brasch-to-Cuevas pass spanning 12 yards.
