The Idaho Vandals are set to take the unprecedented leap down to the FCS in 2018, but with one year of FBS football remaining, it still gives us one more chance to preview the Vandals non-conference schedule from an FBS viewpoint.

So, without further ado, here is Underdog Dynasty’s preview of the Idaho Vandals non-conference schedule for 2017:

Sacramento State Hornets

Thursday, August 31st; Kibbie Dome, Moscow, Idaho

The first opponent for the Vandals in 2017 will be the Sacramento State Hornets. This is an interesting game because the Hornets are from the Big Sky conference - Idaho’s soon to be new home - and depending on what happens in the game, could be the start of an interesting conference rivalry between the two teams.
