On Saturday the Idaho State Bengals brought the nation’s top passing offense in the Football Championship Subdivision (1-AA) to Flagstaff.

The offense also had a big afternoon while demonstrating their explosiveness and big play capability. Zach Bauman scored on a 59 yard run while totaling 219 yards rushing. Giovannie Dixon also added a 60 yard touchdown run while averaging over 10 yards a carry. As a team the Lumberjacks racked up 336 yards rushing and over 480 yards of total offense.
