Vandals dominate in home opener, defeat UAlbany 41-13

The #4 Idaho Vandals hosted their home opener against the #17 UAlbany Great Danes, and won in convincing fashion 41-13 to start their FCS schedule.

Idaho had an incredible show on the turf when it came to the offense, posting 420 yards of offense, with a monster 247 yards on the ground.

The running back tandem of redshirt juniors Nate Thomas and Elisha Cummings combined for 146 yards on the ground, with Thomas posting 75, and Cummings with 71.

Redshirt freshmen Jack Wagner and redshirt sophomore Jordan Dwyer had a great connection, with Wagner finding Dwyer in the endzone for both of his passing touchdowns.

“Going into it we know he’s going to be one of our best receivers,” Wagner said about Dwyer. “I know just giving him a chance downfield that he can make those plays. It is just one of those trust things.”

Vandals earn 3rd straight win over UCSD

The Idaho women’s soccer team was back at the P1FCU Kibbie Dome, looking for another win after getting a hard-fought victory over IU Indianapolis the last time their cleats hit the Kibbie Dome turf.

Behind a brace by graduate midfielder Margo Schoesler, including a 72nd-minute game-winning bicycle kick-like goal to get her fifth goal in four games and get the Vandals a 2-1 victory.

“I was not aiming for the goal at all Schoesler laughed.” “I was trying to keep the ball in the box, and hopefully someone else would get a tap in. It was a good feeling because it put us back in the lead. So, we could do our job and shut the game.”

On Thursday, Aug. 29, Bryan Kohberger and his legal team continued fighting for his upcoming trial to change venues from Moscow to Boise, citing the higher likelihood of an unbiased jury.

Prosecutors continually said that moving the trial 300 miles away would result in more media attention in Boise and inconvenience for all parties.

Latah County Judge John Judge said the decision would be difficult as both sides made fair points for keeping and moving the trial.

Kohberger is being charged with four counts of murder for the deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin, and X**a Kernodle.

The defense brought four witnesses to the stand in Thursday’s all-day court hearing, beginning with James T. Murphy, the president of Truescope, a media monitoring and data analysis company. Murphy and his team have been monitoring media coverage for the case since February of 2023.

Come with us to tour the new $1.3 million renovation of the Delta Tau Delta house! In December 2022, Delta Tau Delta had a pipe burst, forcing the fraternity to leave their home in February 2023 and find residency elsewhere while renovations took place. The fraternity resided in Farmhouse’s home with President Ty Sherman most of the time they were away. Instead of fixing and renovating what was damaged, the house had an entire makeover, revamped and refurnished. An addition was a new room for trophies, and everything was refurbished, costing the operation an estimate of $1.3 million. To pay for this project that insurance couldn’t cover, the fraternity had some help from their alumni during a capital campaign they held for fundraising the extra costs of the new alterations.
