Heading into this weekend’s showdown, the Broncos have won the past ten football games against the Vandals. But in the midst of their first bowl-eligible season since 1998, the Vandals, led by upperclassmen Max Komar and Shiloh Keo, are poised to come into Boise and upset the sixth-ranked team in the nation.

This week marks the most exciting Boise State (9-0, 4-0 Western Athletic Conference) vs. University of Idaho (7-3, 4-2 WAC) football match-up in recent history.

Although players and coaches play the biggest role in the outcome, the poor results of rivalry game can devastate a loyal fan for an entire year.

The Vandals have lived on the edge all season by coming back to win games late in the fourth quarter thanks to an experienced offensive group that puts up points in a hurry.

The Idaho Vandals had pushed the limit several times this year -- giving up a wealth of offense to their opponent in the first half and relying on the offense to come back and save the day.
