The Thunderbirds are coming off a bye week which followed a 19-9 home win over Idaho State on Oct. 26. With the win over ISU Southern Utah notched its third six-win season in the last four campaigns. SUU needs one more win to give Coach Lamb his first seven-win season as well as to clinch a winning record with the 12-game schedule.
