The Big Sky Conference is known for having some of the best quarterbacks in the FCS. If he hasn't already, Idaho State signal caller Tanner Gueller should now join that list.
With in-state rival Idaho coming to town Saturday and jumping down from the FBS this season, the sellout crowd of 11,015 fans expected a battle. Instead, they saw a record-breaking day by Gueller with eight touchdown passes in a 62-28 thrashing.
