What started as a rough game for the Vandal football team turned into a full team effort. Idaho scored its most points since 2003 and flew past New Mexico State for a 55-23 win.
Idaho (4-3 overall, 2-1 Sun Belt) began the game with an offensive misstep when junior quarterback Matt Linehan threw an interception at the New Mexico State 4 yard line. The Aggies capitalized on the turnover and scored a touchdown off a 68-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tyler Rogers to receiver Izaiah Lottie. The Aggies failed to make the extra point but took a 6-0 lead.
