Football: There’s no place like home

Idaho football returns home Saturday after suffering back-to-back losses on the road.

The Vandals will try to take down the Southern Utah Thunderbirds for the annual homecoming game in the Kibbie Dome. This is the second time these two teams will face off in program history.

“They’re physical,” Idaho Head Coach Paul Petrino said. “It’s going to be a tough and physical game on Saturday.”

Idaho is coming off a one-point loss against Montana State a week ago and looks to shake off the loss with a win over Southern Utah.

This was Idaho’s first one-point loss since 2011 and makes it the fourth meeting between the Vandals and Montana State to be determined by one point — the most of any Idaho opponent.
