The Idaho football team headed to Columbia, Missouri hoping they could finally take down a Power Five school. Try as they might the Vandals could not find their way, losing 68-21.
The first few minutes of the game sparked a little bit of hope. Missouri quarterback Drew Lock was picked off by senior defensive back Armond Hawkins on the first play of the game and Idaho took advantage of the early opportunity. Senior quarterback Matt Linehan got the ball to senior running back Aaron Duckworth who found his way up the sideline to the Missouri 7-yard line. From there, Linehan connected with senior linebacker Kaden Elliss in the end zone to take an early 7-0 lead.
