Idaho 27, Wofford 20

This one is going to come down to the wire, but I think the Vandals are going to have a great game after last week’s blowout against USC. It’s like picking up a grown man then picking up a baby — the baby is going to seem lighter than usual.

Wofford will stay with the Vandals the whole game and make it close near the end. The Terriers will test the Idaho run defense with their run-heavy wishbone offense. To make things more interesting, Wofford returns nine starters to a defense that ranked in the top-25 last season in the FCS. This game is far from a sure thing.

With Wofford at 1-1 and the Vandals 0-2, Wofford will take the win, but not without a tough Vandal fight. Idaho junior receiver Jacob Sannon will lead the receivers in catches and receiving yards.

This is a must win for Idaho. If Wofford comes into the Kibbie Dome and beats the Vandals, I would not be opposed to firing Idaho coach Paul Petrino Sunday. A home loss to an average (at best) FCS school in year three would be inexcusable.

That being said, Idaho should and will win easily. This will be the one time we can see this team go out there, play loose and dominate.

Considering that Wofford already won this season against Tennessee Tech, it puts Idaho in a must-win situation. I don’t see the Vandals having turnovers for the second week in a row, which will help them in securing a victory.

I think Idaho’s defense will shine against the Terriers and put up a good fight. So yes, the Vandals will finally win a game that isn’t Homecoming.

If Idaho is able to shut down Wofford’s rushing attack, then the Vandals have a great opportunity to win. I think the Terriers will run the ball well and burn a lot of clock, keeping Idaho’s offense off the field. It will be close but I give Wofford a slight edge.
