Depth and experience make a difference and in just one day of fall camp, coach Paul Petrino can see it in the Idaho Vandals.
"They were excited to be out here," Petrino said. "They definitely wanted to get out here; get after it."
It was sense of energy and excitement as soon as the players took the field.
"It's a more confident vibe," Petrino said. "The expectations are higher. The players are more confidence. They know what to expect. They know how to do things."
The surge in confidence is a by-product of the returning experience and enhanced depth.
