Louisiana-Monroe at Idaho Vandals
Kickoff: 2 p.m. Kibbie Dome, Moscow
Records: Idaho (2-4, 1-2), Troy (1-5, 0-2)
TV/Radio: ESPN3/590-AM, 1080-AM
Overview: The Idaho Vandals are favored, by one point, to do something they haven’t done since 2009: Win back to back football games. Idaho will host the University of Louisiana at Monroe for Homecoming on Saturday. The Vandals have won three straight homecoming games. ULM comes in at 1-5, although the record is deceiving. The Warhawks have played a gauntlet over their first six games, including meetings with Georgia and Alabama along with Sun Belt frontrunners Georgia Southern and Appalachian State. A win over FCS Nichols State is the only thing keeping the Warhawks unblemished. Idaho’s key to victory should be giving ULM freshman quarterback Garrett Smith multiple looks on defense. Smith has spread nine interceptions throughout ULM’s five losses, including two last week in a loss to Appalachian State.
