The University of Idaho football team went 0-5 against Boise State while Dan Hawkins was the Broncos’ coach from 2001 to 2005.
While Idaho might not have a good track record against Hawkins-led teams, Vandals coach Paul Petrino does.
The last time Hawkins and Petrino were on opposite sidelines, Petrino was the offensive coordinator for Louisville when it ended Boise State’s undefeated season with a 44-40 victory in the 2004 Liberty Bowl.
That could be a good omen for the Vandals (1-1) as they make their return to the Big Sky Conference against UC Davis (2-1) on Saturday in Davis, California.
