Idaho at San Jose State

KICKOFF: 5 p.m. at Spartan Stadium, San Jose, Calif.

Records: UI 4-1, 1-0 WAC; SJSU 1-3, 0-1

TV/Radio: SWX/1080-AM

Overview: Call it a chance to finally get over the hump. Sporting a three-game winning streak, the Idaho Vandals start the heart of the Western Athletic Conference season against a team they’ve been competitive with – but haven’t beaten – since joining the WAC in 2005. In fact, the last time Idaho bested San Jose State was in 1998, which happens to be the last year UI played in a bowl. The Vandals will almost surely snap the 11-year postseason drought with two more wins, and this evening’s game presents what looks to be a nice opportunity to get halfway there. The Spartans have one win, 19-9 against lower-division Cal Poly. But they’ve played a murderous non-conference schedule. The Spartans’ losses have come against USC, Stanford and Utah – teams with a combined record of 11-3.
