Nov. 16—The No. 6 Idaho football team wraps up its regular season with the “Battle of Domes” rivalry game against Idaho State at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the P1FCU Kibbie Dome (SWX/ESPN+).
Last week, the Vandals (7-3, 5-2 Big Sky) fell 31-29 to Weber State after winning five of their last six games.
In that one, Wildcats redshirt freshman running back Adrian Cormier scored from 13 yards out to put them in front for good 28-21 with 46 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
The Bengals (3-7, 3-4) dropped their third consecutive game 21-14 to UC Davis.
UC Davis’ junior running back Lan Larison scored from 23 yards out with 2:05 remaining in regulation for the final margin.
The Vandals’ loss to Weber State knocked them out of contention for a top-4 seed in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, as well as a Big Sky championship. But Idaho could still get one of the eight coveted seeds and a first-round bye if it takes care of business against ISU.
Here are some notes about this year’s edition of the Battle of the Domes:
