The script was almost flipped on Saturday afternoon. Instead, Idaho once again proved that they cannot play a full four quarters of football on offense.
Coming into Saturday’s showdown, Idaho’s offense had eased off the gas and blown a lead against Western Michigan after leading for three quarters and proved unable to produce against an inferior Louisiana-Lafayette team on homecoming weekend.
Saturday’s game against the Mountaineers initially seemed like a change in Idaho’s fortunes, but the inability to finish once again doomed the Vandals.
After starting slow all year and struggling to get the offense going, the Vandals torched the Appalachian State Mountaineers through the air and on the ground in the first half.
