The Idaho football team is back on the road Saturday to take on Louisiana-Monroe.
Idaho (2-3) comes off a disappointing 34-13 loss to Troy at home Saturday. Junior running back Aaron Duckworth ran for 50 yards on 15 attempts against the Trojans. Junior quarterback Matt Linehan threw for 166 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The defense allowed 157 rushing yards, 373 passing yards and forced two interceptions and one fumble.
Drops are a recurring problem for the Vandal offense. Idaho converted 2-of-13 third downs against Troy. Petrino attributed low conversions to receivers losing the ball.
“You’ve got to believe you’re going to win,” he said.
