In the Battle of the Domes’ second year, the matchup between the Idaho Vandals and Idaho State Bengals was met with some scrutiny.
On social media, Vandal fans ridiculed the “rivalry,” deeming the matchup as underwhelming after years of FBS play.
With 11,015 fans rocking the Holt Arena in Pocatello, the Bengals obliterated all doubt, routing the Vandals 62-28 in a lopsided reintroduction of the Idaho-Idaho State rivalry.
The win was Idaho State’s first against its in-state foe since 1995, breaking a four-game losing streak.
