Blanchette: Vandals Handle Adversity

On Saturday, the Vandals seemed determined to play themselves deeper into this limbo against Louisiana Tech. Almost 54 minutes of this homecoming dragged on with the Vandals behind and with no indication that was going to change. Of course it did. Should we have expected anything else on the year’s most otherworldly day from the fall’s most otherworldly team? The 35-34 victory – DeMaundray Woolridge wedging into the end zone with 52 seconds left and Trey Farquhar booting the PAT that Tech’s Matt Nelson missed on the other end of the fourth quarter – set off another Kibbie Dome dither, with Larry Bird and Edward Scissorhands and many uncostumed pals spilling out of the stands when Nelson was wide left on a 56-yard field goal. The Vandals’ resiliency once again rated four stars even while the rest of their game was more straight-to-video/ John Blanchette , SR. More here .

Question: What do you think of the Vandals now? Are they Boise State ready?
