  "account": "Anthony Grigsby Jr. scored three touchdowns, including a crucial 5-yard pass to Misa Paiau with 40 seconds left, leading Cal Poly to a thrilling 25-24 victory over Idaho State on Saturday. The Mustangs (4-3, 3-1 Big Sky) trailed 24-18 before Grigsby orchestrated a seven-play, 66-yard drive in just one minute and one second to secure the winning score. Idaho State (4-2, 1-2), currently ranked No. 16 in the Stats Perform poll, took a 18-10 halftime lead after a safety in their third quarter and a 50-yard field goal from Mason Lindberg. Grigsby answered with a four-yard touchdown run and the subsequent 2-point conversion to tie the game at 18 all. Mason Lindberg followed with 43 and 30-yard field goals in the fourth quarter, restoring Idaho State's lead again. However, Cal Poly mounted a remarkable comeback, ultimately prevailing in a nail-biting finish. Grigsby was equally impactful on the ground, contributing another touchdown run of 18 yards in the first quarter and contributing 198 passing yards and two touchdowns alongside a 55-yard rushing total. Jordan Cooke matched Idaho State's offensive output with 238 passing yards and a touchdown, but was plagued by two interceptions. Mason Lindberg was a consistent force for Idaho State, converting every field goal attempt. Cal Poly prepares to host Northern Colorado next Saturday, while Idaho State will face Weber State in the coming Saturday's game.",
