Blanchette: Vandals Lay An Egg

Say, any way that mass exodus from the Western Athletic Conference can be accelerated? Like maybe starting this week? Subtraction in the ranks may be the only way the Idaho Vandals achieve any addition in the win column this fall. OK, one game does not a college football season make, so rather than suggest it’s going to be a long year for the Vandals let’s just say Thursday was a long night. Or a short one – all intrigue having been sucked out of their season opener before the second quarter was half gone. Bad timing on letting all the sunshine in through the Kibbie Dome’s end walls. This one deserved to be played in the shadows/John Blanchette, SR. More here. (Complete game story, boxscore coverage here)

Question: Will the Vandals bounce back?
