Vandals Come Up Short at Troy
TROY, Ala.- Another Sun Belt game, another nail biter. Idaho football dropped a 24-21 decision Thursday, at Troy. The Vandals (3-6, 2-3 Sun Belt) have lost their three conference games by a combined 11 points.
Idaho struck first, followed by 17 straight points from the Trojans (7-2, 4-1 Sun Belt). The Vandals were within three at 17-14 with five minutes to play when Troy lined up to kick a short field goal. The kick was good, but Idaho committed a running-into-the-kicker penalty and the Trojans elected to take the five yards and set up a fourth-and-one. Troy converted and on the next play Jordan Chunn scored from seven yards to put the home team up 24-14.
