Another two-a-day practice is in the books for the Cougars, which everyone is thankful for — media included — due to the 102-degree temperatures on Rogers Field today. I think the bottoms of my shoes might still be infused in the turf. Coach Paul Wulff said he thought his team looked a little sluggish — “just [...]

The Idaho defense turned up the heat on Wednesday in Idaho’s first scrimmage of fall camp. JoJo Dickson and Gary Walker both intercepted quarterback Nate Enderle, and there were 11 sacks. The first-team offensive line looked much better than it did in the spring. They are meshing, and the combo of Matt Cleveland, Tyrone Novikoff, Tevita Halaholo, [...]

The Vandals opened two-a-days on Tuesday with a 9 a.m. practice and going again at 7 p.m. Midway through the morning practice, safety Shiloh Keo was out of pads and rubbing his back. He was upright, but it was obvious his back was sore. On Sunday, receiver Mo Shaw tweaked his hamstring. He was walking on it [...]

Idaho opened fall camp on Thursday, and with few exceptions, they looked solid. It was a hot day, but the team was energized, and played with heart. The offensive line unit of Matt Cleveland, Clell Hasenbank, Tevita Halaholo and Tyrone Novikoff seemed to mesh. Also, Preston Davis, who injured his knee during spring ball, was out and actually [...]

Vandals can drive, but can’t hit end zone The Idaho Vandals proved they can drive against the Washington Huskies, but they can’t hit the end zone. Trey Farquhar has three field goals for Idaho, a 44-yarder, a 28 yarder and a 34-yarder as time ran out in the half to pull Idaho within 21-9. The Vandals were killed [...]

Max Komar is having a big day already. He’s had two kickoff returns for a combined 40 yards and two huge catches, one for 12 yards and the other for 33 yards. The Vandals are moving the ball forward, but penalties - holding and personal fouls, halt all progression. Twice Idaho was in good position only to [...]

It has to be an exciting day for players like Max Komar, Matt Cleveland, Eric Greenwood, Jonah Sataraka and Shiloh Keo who are from the Seattle a I’m sure most of them had dreams of playing here in a different uniform when they were little guys. How great that they get the chance to play here [...]

I’m at Husky Stadium but the press box is so high up the players look like ants. The hospitality here is great, but the seating - reminds me of the nosebleed section in Broncoville. The crowd is pretty sparse, and with 20 minutes to kickoff there are people coming in, but not in droves. Last I heard UW [...]

I had a great talk with defensive coordinator Mark Criner yesterday. He’s energetic, obviously loves football and is realistic about what’s happening with the Vandals. He says numbers wise they are about a year away from where he and coach Akey want to be, but he also said they are getting bigger, they have more depth [...]

College football week is finally here. After talking to Robb Akey today, it sounds like the Idaho team is healthy and looking forward to its matchup against New Mexico State. One of the most enjoyable aspects of Monday’s press conference came when Akey talked about establishing a winning tradition. He said going in to Saturday’s game the [...]
