The Washington State Cougars haven’t really played anybody up to this point, and they’re a middle of the road Pac-12 team until proven otherwise. The Idaho Vandals are an experienced team that returned a lot of key players from last season and while they have two losses, they took LBSU to overtime and hung around with Fresno State. Idaho isn’t a pushover and with this being a true home game, the crowd will be up for it. Give me the points.
