The first ominous sign for fans inside the Kibbie Dome had to be the sight of quarterback Nathan Enderle warming up with his non-throwing hand. Enderle was a no-go Saturday night with a bruised rotator cuff, and it didn’t matter what sort of decoy Idaho coaches tried to throw at Fresno State. The way things spiraled out of control early, no gimmick was going to work. With their starting quarterback sidelined, the Vandals quickly came undone in a 31-21 loss to the Bulldogs. It was Idaho’s first home loss of the season, and it came in a much-anticipated Western Athletic Conference showdown. There would be no miracle comeback like last week against Louisiana Tech, though UI (7-3, 4-2) certainly made things interesting in the fourth quarter/ Josh Wright , Sportslink. ESPN boxscore here .
