Idaho 34, Northern Illinois 31

(Idaho QB Nate) Enderle directed a drive that included a key 25-yard third-conversion pass to Eric Greenwood deep into NIU's territory. The Huskies called the final timeouts of the game as Idaho continued to push forward - largely on the bullish runs of senior back DeMaundray Woolridge. The Vandals showed tenacity, maturity and effectiveness throughout the non-conference game. Enderle connected on 18 of 23 throws for 270 yards and three touchdowns with passes going to 10 receivers. Woolridge led the running backs with a hard-fought 143 yards on 19 carries - one of which was a one-yard TD. Three receivers had three catches each with Greenwood tallying 67 yards, Preston Davis 29 and Maurice Shaw 28. Princeton McCarty scored on his lone reception - a 58-yarder with 47 seconds left in the first half. Defensively, the Vandals were able to limit the Huskies to 128 rushing yards and were relentless in their pursuit of NIU quarterback Chandler Harnish. The Vandals wound up with four passes defensed and five tackles for loss/Idaho Athletic Media Relations.  ESPN boxscore here.
