Ski’s The Limit For Idaho Vandals

A Texas-sized grin plastered on his face, safety Shiloh Keo galloped off the field Saturday repeating the same four words. “We’ve got a shot,” he hollered, referring to a December bowl berth. “We’ve got a shot.” Actually, the Vandals have more than a chance – and with how they’re humming along, they have loftier aspirations than a date in Boise for the Humanitarian Bowl. Picked to finish last in the Western Athletic Conference, Idaho bumped its record to 6-1 and kept an improbable spot atop the league standings with a 35-23 triumph over Hawaii. For the first time since 1998, the Vandals are all but assured of a postseason bid and sit at 3-0 in the WAC heading into next week’s showdown at Nevada/ Josh Wright , SR. More here .

Question: Look in your crystal ball. How is this incredible year of the Vandal (which still includes games against Nevada, Fresno State, Louisiana Tech, and Boise State) going to play out?
