Rankings from NCAA Division I-AA AP Poll |
The 1979 Idaho State Bengals football team represented the Idaho State University in the Big Sky Conference during the 1979 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Led by third-year head coach Bud Hake, the Bengals compiled an overall record of 0–11 (0–7 in Big Sky, last), extending their losing streak to sixteen games,[1] and were winless in conference play for a second straight season. Home games were played at the ASISU Minidome (now Holt Arena), an indoor venue on campus in Pocatello, Idaho.
After the final game of the winless season, Hake resigned with a 5–27 (.156) record in three years.[1] A few days later, he was succeeded by Dave Kragthorpe, the offensive line coach (and assistant head coach) at Brigham Young University.[2]
