Football: As Saunders joins the 2,000 club, Idaho pulls off an astonishing win over North Dakota

The Vandals pulled of a miraculous comeback victory in the final seconds to continue their undefeated streak at home this season.

Idaho football (4-5, BSC 3-4) brought down North Dakota (5-4) by a score of 31-27 Saturday, overcoming the hardships that have been thrown at the Vandals for the past few weeks.

“It was just a great team win,” Idaho head coach Paul Petrino said. “I told the team I’ve won Cotton Bowls, I’ve won Orange Bowls, but that was as great a win.”

During the opening minutes of the game, it seemed as if the Fighting Hawks were going to be too much to handle for the Idaho offense.
