Idaho Vandals: Recap of 2008 to 2014

Season Report Posted: December 22, 2008 22:32  

For a couple of months now, I've been fighting through a dynasty with the Idaho Vandals, but can't find enough stats to put in information for the 2008 to 2014 season. Now I'm currently in Week 3 of year 2015 and will start updating information about the Vandals.

RECAP of '08-'14:

The Idaho Vandals football success from 2008 to 2014 started slow but eventually picked up with the help from some quality recruits. After 4 years in the WAC, with a strong last season, (somehow?) the Vandals received a bid to join the mighty Pac-10, replacing Stanford. Of course, the Vandals accepted.

After two mediocre seasons in the Pac-10, with the 2013 football season came an 11-2 record and a Brut Sun Bowl victory. Then in 2014, the Vandals swept their opponents and had a victory in the Rose Bowl, capping off a tremendous 13-0 season.
