Idaho fans had plenty to be happy about Saturday.
The Vandals took down the Western New Mexico Mustangs 56-10 Saturday in the home opener at the Kibbie Dome.
The Vandals did not disappoint in the opening minutes.
Idaho junior quarterback Mason Petrino got the start, leading the Vandals downfield before scoring on a scramble to the outside pylon for a touchdown.
The Vandal faithful went crazy, and it seemed as if it was going to be a smooth sailing opener for the Vandals.
The Mustangs had a different idea in mind.
Idaho’s defense struggled early, with Western New Mexico finding many open lanes to run right down the middle.
