Well, the Vandals have seen it all this year; both ends of blowouts, offensive shootouts, heartbreak losses and defensive wins. And now, finally, they get to relish a win over a BCS foe. Sure, UCLA was down this year (0-5), but they're still UCLA and Idaho's still a traditional WAC cellar-dweller. It wasn't easy. The Bruins jumped out to a 17-0 lead in the first, but the Vandals owned the second to go to the the break up 20-17. It was a shootout through the second half, but Idaho scored last to go up 41-34 with seconds left. A pick secured the win and now Coach Ace Journeyman has some real success to build off of. The Vandals sit at 5-2 overall, 2-1 in the WAC, with a showdown against Fresno State looming this week for first in the conference. The season-goal of winning the WAC is pretty far away, but a bowl bid is closer than ever.
