Trailing by 13 points with less than 6 minutes left on Saturday, Idaho once again found a way to secure an unlikely Western Athletic Conference victory. This time UI flipped on the switch just in time, scoring on a 2-yard leap into the end zone from DeMaundray Woolridge with 52 seconds left to nip Louisiana Tech 35-34. The Bulldogs’ Matt Nelson, who botched what turned out to a critical extra point earlier, watched his 56-yard field goal attempt flutter wide left as time expired. The two missed boots helped give Idaho (7-2, 4-1) what appears to be enough victories for a bowl berth, though nothing is guaranteed./Josh Wright, Sportslink. ESPN boxscore here.
