Idaho 2014 statistics
http://espn.go.com/college-football/team...ho-vandals

Idaho had the following statistics for 2014:
31st Passing Yards
96th Rushing
91st Points FOR
114th Points AGAINST

The Vandals could improve in passing yards with the return of Dezmon Epps at WR. We do lose a couple of guys on the O-line.

Rushing will improve with Elijhaa Penny and Jake Manley coming back as Seniors.

Points for: I think this is going to only slightly rise.

Ponts against: This will be the greatest area of improvement. We have been playing with a lot of younger athletes the last couple of years. The D will be much more experienced.

DL- Tueni/JR, Edwards/SR and Bradley/SR.
LB- Elliss/FR, Edwards/SR, Westlake/SR, Hazewood/JR.
CB- Jordan/SR and Clark/SR
DB- Siavii/JR and Bands/SO

It is finally good to see a defense that isn't made up completely of freshmen and sophmores.

Go Vandals

If Linehan can limit his turnovers Idaho's passing attack would be deadly. He was a freshman though so I would assume he will keep improving. I'm sure his dad could get Tony Romo to give him a few pointers.

Actually, the pointers came from Tom Cable (O-line coach for the Seattle Seahawks). His son, Zach Cable #90, is currently on the roster. http://espn.go.com/college-football/team...ho-vandals

Our O-Coordinator spent some time in Seattle this year looking over the practive drills the Hawks are using to improve/maintain their line. We are hoping this exposure and education will pay off.

Thank you for such a vote of confidence. But, six wins won't get us to a bowl game. We play Wofford this year, along with Southern California and Auburn. That means we have 10 games to win seven. Even that will be a tall order with the competition in the SBC.

RE: Idaho 2014 statistics
A coach was recently quoted as saying Idaho's 22 starters could hang with any team in the sun belt, but the backups are more of a FCS quality. It's a positive sign as last year you probably couldn't say that. Unfortunately you need more than 22 players to win a game but I expect far more close games this year. 3-4 years ago Idaho was getting out scored by 300+ points a season, last year it was about 150. Give us 1-2 more years of recruits and development with Linehan in his 3rd or 4th year of starting (or our other promising qb's behind him) and Idaho can be a major factor in the title race. For this year I'm thinking 3 wins but a ton of improvement and close losses. Our WR group should be the best in the conference and Petrino expects the DL to do the same. The DB's are able to stay with the WRs when only 5 yards off the LOS which would make them the best group we've had in about 7 years (but that's not saying much)

May not be the best year to reference your backups as FCS quality and it not be compliment. You got a tough one on the schedule.

RE: Idaho 2014 statistics
An honest observation isn't a compliment or an insult, it is what it is. I'm not worried about the backups as much because as they get coached up, stronger, more experienced they will get better. I would argue that a senior on most FCS squads would beat a freshman on a midmajors squad probably 75% of the time. Now take that senior and put them against a midmajors sophomore or junior and it's a different story. We need depth and the only way to get that is time. Unfortunately Petrino has reached for some high level prospects who either couldn't qualify or didn't show up, add in a rash of injuries and the past 2 classes haven't provided the numbers we need to build that depth up. We'll get there, but good teams aren't built overnight. In the meantime I'm hoping to see the starters stay healthy and keep the game close through 3 quarters. If we can keep it close we can win the game, although we would need some luck or clutch plays to beat the better teams in the conference.

I didn't say that it would happen, I was just saying I would like to see it. 04-cheers

What's a "midmajor"? Sorry but that's just one of my pet peeves. We all have access to the CFBNC and the CBBNC here in the SBC. It cracks me up when the announcers refer to the "Butlers" and "Gonzagas" as "midmajors" as they fight in the Final Four year after year. Note that NOBODY calls Boise State a "midmajor", at least not any broadcasters, even though they reside in a "midmajor" conference.
