Commentary: A strange football game

What an odd Saturday.

In easily one of the strangest games in its history, Idaho managed to pull off a 29-23 win over South Alabama in double overtime on Saturday, a game that began at 11 a.m. and would not conclude until around 6 p.m., due to about two and a half hours of lightning delay.

It was not pretty by any means. Frustration could be seen in the faces of both Vandal and Jaguar players, but not only because they had to take to the locker room for about as long as they were on the playing field advantage was a rarity to say the least.
