A victory over a nationally ranked Big Sky Conference opponent over the weekend has earned national recognition for the University of Northern Colorado football team.

The Bears were named the Stats Perform FCS National Team of the Week on Monday, two days after their 49-33 win over No. 11 Idaho on Saturday in Moscow, Idaho.

The win was arguably the biggest for the program under current head coach Ed Lamb, who is in his third season. UNC is 3-3 overall and 1-1 in the Big Sky Conference.

Idaho (2-4, 0-2) dropped out of the top 25 in one Football Championship Subdivision poll following the loss to the Bears. The Vandals were 24th in another poll.

UNC scored 35 first-half points against the Vandals on the way to scoring the most points in a single game since Lamb took over in late 2022.
