Idaho suffered another tough 17-10 loss to the New Mexico State Aggies in Las Cruces Saturday afternoon, after trying to overcome an early 14-point deficit.
The Vandals (3-8, SBC 2-5) found themselves in a hole early after falling behind by 14 to the Aggies (5-6, SBC 3-4).
Sophomore quarterback Mason Petrino struggled early, throwing an interception on the opening drive of the game. New Mexico State followed with a quick six play drive ending in an early touchdown for the Aggies.
This led to the debut of true freshman quarterback Colton Richardson for the Vandals. The first possession for the Richardson-led Vandals ended in a fumble by senior wide receiver Alfonso Onunwor.
