CHASING THE CROWN: A win on Saturday will give College of Idaho a share of the Frontier Conference title for the fourth-straight year. The last two seasons, College of Idaho has shared the title with its only outright Frontier Conference title coming back in 2019. The last team to win four-straight was next week's opponent Carroll College, who won 12 in a row from 2000 to 2011.
SECOND HALF SUCCESS: In the second half, in 2022, College of Idaho is outscoring its opponents by a 176 to 65 margin. Furthermore, the Yotes are converting 29 of 55 (52.7%) of its third downs compared to 20 of 54 (37%) by its opponents. The time of the possession also favors, the Yotes in the final 30 minutes with a 101:50 to 85:19 margin on the season.
PICK OFF THE RAIDERS: In both wins over Southern Oregon, last week's opponent, College of Idaho had a pick six against the Raiders. Earlier this season,
Keegan Croteau intercepted a pass and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown that put the Yotes ahead 35-24. Last week,
Jacob Arms stepped in front of the Raiders pass and ran it back 57 yards for a touchdown to the game at 21. The interception to go along with eight tackles earned Arms the Frontier Conference/Erck Hotels Defensive Player of the Week honors.
RUN RUN RUN: Running back
Allamar Alexander ran 54 yards for a touchdown against Southern Oregon. The longest touchdown run since a 76-yard touchdown run by Nick Calzaretta against EOU on November 6, 2021.
HAULING IT IN: Wide receiver
Brock Richardson had nine catches for 96 yards and a touchdown against SOU. The nine catches are the most by a Yotes receiver since a 10-catch effort by
Jake Nadley in last year's season finale against Carroll. Four of the nine receptions came on the game-winning drive against the Raiders.
