The Idaho football team ended last season with a five game win streak, and that momentum carried over into the new season.
“The first game jitters were there,” senior running back Aaron Duckworth said. “But it was good to get that first win under our belts.”
Both teams had slow starts offensively. Idaho recorded one first down in four drives in the first quarter. The Vandal defense made up for the gradual offensive start by forcing three consecutive three-and-out drives from Sacramento State to start the game.
Sacramento State took the lead at the beginning of the second quarter with a 52-yard field goal.
