Tuesday: Idaho football coach Paul Petrino said Matt Linehan had perhaps his best practice in the fall, which is important for the third-year sophomore. Linehan struggled in the scrimmage. 

“Matt really lit it up today. He made some great pressure checks, made some great throws, kept the ball on some zone reads, I need to watch the guys on tape,” Petrino said.

The offensive line is still far from set, something Petrino wishes wasn’t the case right now. Now he has his sights set on a finalized five come game-week against Ohio. Devin Wiltz, Jeff Travillion, Calvin White and Mason Woods are battling for the final two spots. Steven Matlock is a sure thing at center, while Dallas Sandberg is a steady presence at guard. When healthy, Jordan Rose will most likely be in the picture as a guard or tackle. Mason Woods is practicing at guard to give the line more flexibility, considering White, who played tackle today, is also capable of sliding inside. Lake City product Zion Dixon is one of the top eight as a true freshman, Petrino said.
