Idaho State vs. Cal State Fullerton Prediction
I’m on Cal State Fullerton here. I know Idaho State has the better numbers on paper, but the Titans have run a bit of a gauntlet in the early going so far this year with four top-100 teams in Grand Canyon, Stanford, Colorado, and Oregon State. Idaho State played tough teams like Arizona State and USC themselves, but the recent games against San Diego and Southern Oregon may have inflated those numbers a bit. I think being at home is Fullerton’s greatest weapon here and I think the Titans get it done. Give me CSU-Fullerton.
