With adversity behind him, Mason Petrino aims for a strong 2019 season

In November 2018, Idaho football found themselves down three in the final minutes of the fourth quarter in a pivotal game against North Dakota.

With 29 seconds left in the game, Idaho quarterback Mason Petrino knew he needed to make a play to seal the win and claim the victory. Lined up in shotgun

formation, the ball snapped to Petrino.

His eyes aimed at the corner of the end zone as he made a perfect back shoulder throw to wide receiver Jeff Cotton.

The touchdown sealed the win for the Vandals and became a pivotal moment for Petrino’s athletic development.
