Yesterday #4 Idaho beat #15 Albany 41-13. Idaho scored in a variety of ways including a punt return and a pick 6. Their QB (Wagner) is a backup and threw for 260+ yards. Last year Albany ousted the Vandals from the FCS playoffs.

We need to get that Tech performance back, that’s for sure.

ACU fell to "others receiving votes" in the Stat Perform top 25 and are ranked 29 by Massey. As of this post, the AFCA poll is unavailable.
Our big problem, however, is that Idaho is ranked #2 in both. IMHO, it's time to unleash the passing game for 4 quarters. We've got everything to gain and nothing to lose.

There's a tiny link underneath Stan Becton's ballot. That link takes you to last week's coaches poll. Notice the records are not updated. I don't think the stats perform poll has been released yet.

Northern Colorado and West Georgia both played tough up front, but Idaho will bring a whole new level of challenge to the line of scrimmage. Can we protect McIvor at all? Can he make timely decisions (when to climb the pocket, run for yardage, or throw) while under duress?
The Vandals have 11 sacks in three games this season, six by Keyshawn James-Newby (6'2 "240). They only have 1 int on the year (a pic 6), but 12 passes defended, and James-Newby has also forced 2 fumbles.

Enjoyed KP's news conference today. He has all the coach speak lines down pat but if you ask a good question about specific player performance he is very open and honest to answer the question.

So far, the little fan talk from Idaho I can see is that they think they will match up well against us in the run game. They see us weak in defending the run, which we are in defending the QB run more so than the RB run. Still, if they wear us down, we will be in trouble. I am curious to see if they really stick to that or try and pick at our DBs. They also have a lot of familiarity with coach Holt, who was formerly there at Idaho, as well as being fully aware of his record at Washington. They are happy he is our defensive co-coordinator. They definitely that working in their favor. They aren't taking us lightly for sure. They know that if we spread them out, like we did Tech, we will give them a hard battle. The question is still about are we going to adjust when we need to or not? Is our offense going to go for long stretches of 3-n-out? Are we going to be in a lot of 3rd and long all day? If we can improve on those and penalties, stay disciplined, and get a turnover or two, then I think we can be in this game. Can we win the battle of the trenches?

This is going to be a physical and mental battle of the wills.
