A tenacious Vandal football team held their own against Troy less than two weeks ago led by a composed senior quarterback Matt Linehan, but it may have been the last game of the season fans would see the starting quarterback.
The contest panned out similarly to every other Vandal football game throughout the season- Idaho hung in there but fell just short.
The closing minutes of that game may have been the closing minutes of Idaho’s hopes for a run at the post season. Linehan failed to escape a tackle and instead ended up taking the blow on his right thumb.
