The Warriors took the advantage two plays later when Demetrius Ross returned an interception of a Darick Pope pass 29 yards for a touchdown.

Kimiko Bandy put the Vandals in position to have a shot at victory at the end of the game when he connected with Pope on a 70- yard TD play.

The Warriors, despite being backed up against their goal line, were able to run out the clock.

Pope, a freshman from Post Falls, was 23 of 43 for 379 yards and was intercepted three times. , DataTimes
