Give Idaho a lot of credit for hanging in there even being down by 21. Their quarterback is as good as any in the Big Sky as far a making clutch throws.

203 yards rushing. And held Idaho to 133.

Victory formation!

The player of the game, selected by Idaho announcers and sponsored by Toyota of Spokane… Gbatu. Unusual to pick someone from the away team.

Road W's are tough. I hate to be negative after a victory, but if I've ever watched a disappointing win, that was it.

This one should have been about 52-10.

Second game in-a-row where I think Plough is going to be tough on himself in the post gamer presser.

With all that armchair quarterbacking said, an essential road win vs. an underrated team with a good QB.

I agree. It was a needed win but feels like a loss with Montana State coming up and Sac. How does this game impact playoffs?

Man, taking your helmet off and celebrating while the play is still in action and it negates a TD...that is the kind of penalty you rarely see a Aggie make.

re: playoffs it was a nearly must win so checked the box. A road win over a decent team is good. Eye test very erratic but unless it was 52-14 or something, I don’t think margin of victory at this point makes much difference

I think this win was big for a good amount of reasons, but I think Idaho basically being considered a much better team than their record suggests is good for us. A win like this over Idaho is a pretty decent win considering some of the good losses they have had.

Idaho had 2 losses to FBS teams, two with their starting QB out and a game against Montana, an undefeated team.
Davis doubled their score and would have dominated the game if they eliminated costly penalties, Davis play calling in the red zone was limited by having only one trusted running back.

exactly my thoughts!

hands to the face took his helmet half off and he just did the rest so he could see, not smart but uncalled penalty doesn’t help.

Pinnick is a little run happy at times. A few of those tackles/sacks there was a better pass attempt, it's better to miss those passes and count it as a throwaway than to take hits

All of those exotic plays down there seemed unnecessary in my opinion. I think Plough was doing too much, again. I bet he talks about that in the press conference. I do see the point about not having Vargas. We are smaller at RB without him and that hurts close to the goal line.

We won the time of possession! Kidding...

. He said that last week, talking about how they added a shift to disquise a play because they had used that play before in the game. If they are going to shift so much they need an official at practice.

Does the team fly to Pullman, Spokane, or Lewiston when they play the Vandals? Hopefully they will be on the flight home soon.

Pullman

On the much discussed player availability issue, the starters in this game were the starters we started the season with, minus the Connors twins and Winston Williams, and with David Main who wasn’t available at the start if the season. Nava started for the first time since being injured against Cal Poly, but left the game with an injury.

Sorry I missed you today. I've been buried at work and never remembered to write you when I was at my computer. I think I was in the section to your left with a bunch of Aggie family members. Pleased that some of the Larison clan were there, didn't expect them now that Lan has moved on.

I was in Section 14. Were you in 15? I saw the Ridley family? I also saw this Admin looking guy with a fancy blue Davis poll shirt. I wonder who he is.

Official attendance was 10,712. It must have been loud inside that dome.

That's good. I know they recently expanded the runway. Much better than taking the bus to the Palouse. I know at one point Cal and Pac teams did that for WSU. I bet the team will be home soon. Does the football team use the University airport or SMF?

It was pretty packed in. The only problem for Idaho is that just when it seemed like momentum would flip, the Vandals would cough it up much like the Ags.

they fly into SMF, just landed

I loved the offensive line complete shift, not sure how badly that confuses a defense or if it matters. There were some great play calls, and execution. Perfect tune up for next week.

Good to see Kai Acia get 4 carries (16 yards) and WR Scott Nixon had one grab.

Grad students Riddick (7 tackles), Richardson (6), and Batson (6) led the way on D. Soph LB Sievers had 5 tackles.

Jaden Few (Frosh DLine), Jordan Black-Glass (Soph DB via Fresno City), and Charlie Allen (Sr LB) contributed.

Section 10. The visiting team fans are usually on that end, so I looked for a seat there. My season tickets are in 8.
