Well, the Idaho Vandals enjoyed their trip to Hawaii, winning their bowl game by thumping the Rice Owls, 48-7. However, fans had not celebrated very long when it was announced that coach Ace Journeyman would be moving on to the University of Utah. Journeyman accepted the deal over similar offers from Boise State, Hawaii, and Wake Forest. There were also rumors of interest from Notre Dame, Missouri and Michigan. The interest to coach a big time program, maybe even his alma mater, Georgia, is undeniable, but for right now, the reigning Coach of the Year is happy in Salt Lake City. In his debut as head coach, Journeyman's Utah Utes downed FCS opponent Weber State, 65-14.
