COMPLETE MEDIA GAME NOTES
Â
GAME PLAYED IN HILLSBORO: With the Portland Timbers of the MLS set to host the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night, Providence Park, the longtime home of Portland State football, is unavailable.

General admission tickets start at $20, with reserved tickets $40 and can be
purchased online.
Â
A DIVISION I OPPONENT FOR A SECOND-STRAIGHT YEAR: C of I will play an NCAA Division I team for the second consecutive year, as Portland State jumped from the Division II to the Division I (FCS) ranks in 1996. The Yotes traveled last September to PSU's Big Sky Conference rival Northern Colorado, dropping a 41-14 decision to the Bears.
GAMES AGAINST NOW D-I OPPONENTS: Since football returned, the Yotes are 2-2 in non-league games (including a 2-1 record against NCAA Division III teams). During the original era of C of I football (1905-77) the Coyotes played 15 teams currently at the NCAA Division I level (Boise State, BYU, Cal Poly, Eastern Washington, Hawaii, Idaho, Idaho State, Montana State, Nevada, Sam Houston State, San Jose State, Southern Utah, Utah State, Washington State and Weber State) - though nearly all of the teams were either junior colleges, NAIA or NCAA Division II opponents at the time. C of I posted a record of 34-58-1 against the current Division I teams - including four wins vs. Boise State, eight wins against Eastern Washington and 17 wins vs. Idaho State
