2011 Week 3

A game full of fireworks ended when Idaho CB Andy Floyd (sophomore) picked off a Hawaii pass with a little over 30 seconds left in the game.

"Oh it was one hell of a game, we needed to get this one big time. If nothing else for the sake of our kids' confidence, we need to feel like we can beat anybody, and we finally beat Hawaii today."

Coach Guru's fiery leadership could be sidelines throughout the entirety of the game, with plenty of instances that showcased some great restraint to resist smashing his headset (read: controller) into the ground.

"It was one of those games we really should have dominated, but couldn't close out. Hawaii kept fighting back."

In fact, it was the Vandals who needed to fight back in the end, trailing 31-28 with a little over two minutes to go.

"I told Nick (Foles) that this was gonna be his moment, this was gonna be the beginning of what would define his college career. This is the beginning of our run, now go do it. And you all saw what happened, our kids made plays. I couldn't be more proud of those kids."

Nick Foles and the Vandal offense took the field at their own 19 and began to work their way towards the endzone with short, controlled passes until Foles hit star fullback Dwayne Dodds streaking down the sideline for the 61 yard go-ahead touchdown.

There was only one problem: that left Hawaii 1:07 to make their own comeback story.

Hawaii robo-QB'd their way to the Vandal 34 until sophomore CB Andy Floyd shut down the Warriors for good.

"I made a decision to have Andy in there over another corner who was slightly more athletic because of his football IQ. He proved me right today. In the end it's a great game, but there's a lot of football left to play this year and we've got to get ready to beat Utah State."
