This team blew through the schedule winning the RMFL title in 2001. Returning to the '02 title game after winning the RMFL South, Pocatello fell to the Mustangs by 7. The Mustangs dispatched the Silverbacks again in the 2003 playoffs. In both instances the Silverbacks had won the previous regular season matchup.
