The 1983 Idaho State Bengals football team represented

Holt Arena, an indoor venue on campus in Pocatello, Idaho. After a disappointing season in 1982, the Bengals finished second in the Big Sky with a 5–2 record, and were 8–3 overall in the regular season. Led by senior quarterback Paul Peterson, Idaho State hosted the first round of the 12-team I-AA playoffs,[1][2] but lost to conference champion Nevada by seven points.[3]

Koetter was promoted to head coach in early June after Dave Kragthorpe left to become athletic director at his alma mater, Utah State in Logan.[4][5][6][7]
