Saturday evening concluded a chapter in the Sun Belt Conference history books. Now, it’s time to look toward the future of the Idaho football team in the FCS.

After the decision to move forward with a 10-team league, Idaho and New Mexico State have both been dropped from the FBS conference.

With the Vandals set to begin Big Sky Conference competition in 2018, all eyes should be on the future. A major part of that future: freshman quarterback Colton Richardson.

Sophomore quarterback Mason Petrino left the game to injury, so Richardson was called upon for the first time this season.
