Bushnell to start for UI; Farquhar feted

Idaho interim head coach Jason Gesser said Monday that Logan Bushnell, who started last week, will again be under center when the Vandals play at BYU Saturday night. Backup Taylor Davis will play for a “series or two” in the first half, Gesser said. Both QBs need more game-time reps, Gesser said, to be more consistent.

Meanwhile, Idaho senior Trey Farquhar was one of 20 kickers honored as Lou Groza Award semifinalists. The award honors the nation’s top kicker. Farquhar is 12-of-15 on field goals this year and is the active career leader in the FBS on field goals of 50 yards or longer. “He’s consistent,” Gesser said. “He continues to work to try to perfect his craft every single day. To see him being recognized, that’s awesome. He deserves it very much so.”
