Football: Cooked to Perfection

Vandal history was made Thursday night in Boise.

In below-freezing temperatures, on a slippery blue field, the Idaho football team defeated Colorado State 61-50 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl at Alberstons Stadium.

“I’ve never been more proud of a group of players,” Idaho head coach Paul Petrino said. “It was a great team victory and everyone stepped up for each other when they had to.”

The Sun Belt Conference is now 3-1 in bowl games – the conference’s first three-win bowl season.

A scoreless first quarter signaled a tough game. Then, the Vandal offense began firing on all cylinders.
