Idaho Pulls Away from Portland State 38-14
Portland State ran the ball 23 times for 13 yards. That is not a typo, and it is a big part of why Idaho won 38-14 and moved back to 4-4.
It was tied once, 7-7 in the first quarter, and Idaho never trailed. Joshua Wood threw touchdowns of 28 yards to Zack Card and 6 to Damonte Bias to open a 14-7 lead, and Owen Forsman's 47-yard field goal made it 17-7. Then came the one that broke it open: Ryan Jezioro's 77-yard touchdown catch with 44 seconds left in the first half, 24-7. Bias ran in from 4 yards early in the third, Wood ran in from the 1 in the fourth, and it was 38-7 with 6:25 left.
Portland State's only offense was in the air, 281 yards, and nearly all of it went one direction. Terence Loville caught nine passes for 114 yards and both touchdowns, a 4-yarder from Gabe Downing and a 2-yarder from John-Keawe Sagapolutele with 51 seconds left that only changed the final margin. Idaho had 469 yards to 294.
Portland State drops to 2-5.
For fantasy, Wood's 40.3 led the game, but Loville's 32.4 on a losing team was a season high, and Jezioro had 194 yards on five catches for 30.4.
