Lookin forward to getting up there this weekend.

I really hope the guys on the D-line, the RBs, and Layne are healthy.

EWU is a bad team but they put up tons of points. If Newby and Afalava are limited heavily or can't go Idaho's gonna have to score 40 to win. And that's gonna be hard considering how poorly the O has played for 8 of the last 9 halves of football.

If they play like they did against Cal Poly this is an L even though I think a fully healthy Idaho team rolls EWU by 20.

Nice to see Layne back.

Game was not as close as the score indicated. Glad they put a bad team away for the first time a a month or so.

What a fun game. Got pretty interesting in the 1st half. Aside from Layne's boneheaded INT throw, he played pretty well.

Kibbie was bumpin. Great turnout.

Yea it was sunny & warm. Tailgate was a madhouse. Brought back a lot of memories lol

Really good Vandal crowd in Hillsboro for the Portland State game.

Easily 1/3, probably more were Idaho fans. We drowned out the PSU crowd pretty easily.

Should have been a 20+ point victory, but considering Wagner was the only QB that dressed and they were down the top 2 RBs I'll take the W.

Gotta win out if they want a decent seed in the playoffs.

I have a cousin that is a PSU Alum and she said she wasn't surprised about the fan turnouts... Nobody really took their football team seriously over there lol. Glad the Vandies crowd showed up though.

And also glad they eeked out the W given how shorthanded they were.

Next up is Weber St who has played spoiler before... Hopefully Layne will be ready to go

Unfortunately looking like he'll be out again from what I understand.

At least this one is at home. That Weber game last year was just sad.

Sort of got ratfucked on the seeding for the FCS playoffs... Should have been #7 over Mercer.

Now at #8, the road leads through Montana State, who already beat the brakes off them back in October. But that's assuming the Vandies can handle Richmond (assuming that's who they meet in the 2nd Rd).

But nothing wrong with the tougher path. At least we'll get to see quickly if they deserve another shot at Montana State.

I was expecting a 6 seed so yeah I think they got hosed.

If they can get out of the second round, at Montana State is the worst draw out there. And honesty it's pretty lame they stacked the top 3 Big Sky teams on one side of the bracket.

Had the very same thought. Stacking Big Sky vs Missouri Valley.

This kind of loss really sets you back. Pathetic as fuck.

Get ready for a ton of dudes to hit the portal.

Right on cue Eck leaves and likely takes his son with him.

Layne, Dwyer, and Afalava already in the portal.

No wonder they lost and gave up at halftime with all these dudes just ready to bounce the very next day.

College football really is a fuckin' joke.

Watching Idaho in the FCS playoffs was a lot of fun the past 2 years. Especially the Kibbie Dome games. After that onside kick failed it just fell apart. The loss to Albany hurt worse though last year.

Said this as soon as I saw the report of Eck leaving: "This team probably knew Eck was bouncing & most the talent was hitting the portal... Nobody took this game seriously"

Glad I got to take my boys up to see a competitive football team while it was still here... Looking like it may be a while before that happens again

If they can land Thomas Ford I think they'll at least be on the right track, but yeah still a rebuild there regardless.
