Idaho State head coach Cody Hawkins joins Colter Nuanez after the Bengals’ 28-26 triple-overtime loss to Montana State in Pocatello.
Hawkins talks about the heartbreak of coming up just short against the Bobcats, what makes Montana running back Eli Gillman so tough to stop, whether Gillman choosing to stay can influence the rest of the Big Sky, the playmakers on Idaho State’s defense, recruiting and roster building, and Saturday’s nationally televised trip to Washington-Grizzly Stadium.
