Big day for Idaho football. I happen to know someone who'll be watching the game and offered to post live box scores. If you're doing something crazy like DVR-ing the game, and are going to yell about spoilers, DON'T check back on this thread. Just saying.

BOISE – Deonte Jackson has been in the University of Idaho football program long enough to be able to put 2009 in context. He’s seen the damage caused by coaching upheaval. He’s been through seasons where any victory seemed like a minor miracle.

Up until this fall, it all looked so hopeless – which, of course, makes today’s appearance in the Humanitarian Bowl that much more satisfying for veterans like Jackson.

Clearly, though, just getting to Bronco Stadium’s blue turf isn’t enough.

“To make it is a great accomplishment, but to win it would just be like the exclamation point on the season,” said Jackson, a junior tailback. “It’s tremendous. It’s a real big thing for everyone involved in this program, this school.” More.
