Six home games highlight 2017 football schedule

MOSCOW, Idaho – The 2017 University of Idaho football schedule includes six games at the Kibbie Dome with a Thursday night date (Aug. 31) against Sacramento State launching the season.

The 2016 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl champion Vandals have games against five other 2016 bowl teams as well as a first-time opponent (Coastal Carolina) and one (Missouri) they haven't played since 1963. In addition to their opener on a Thursday night, they have one other Thursday game – at Troy on Nov. 2. That contest will be on ESPNU.

"I'm very excited to have six home games next year," said coach Paul Petrino, who led the Vandals to one of the most remarkable two-year turnarounds in the NCAA the past two seasons.
