Senior quarterback Kevin Yost leads a potent Idaho State offense, which ranks third in the FCS in yards per game. Yost has passed for 779 yards and four touchdowns in the Bengals’ first two games.
The No. 25 Cornhuskers are coming off a 42-13 victory over Arkansas State after dropping their Sept. 8 meeting with the UCLA Bruins.
