The Vandal Nation staff makes their predictions for Idaho’s game against North Dakota 2 p.m. Saturday in the Kibbie Dome

Meredith Spelbring — Idaho 24, North Dakota 21

Idaho is undefeated at home. If this team has anything going for them, that is it. North Dakota is a scrappy, physical team and Idaho will certainly not get anythingwithout a fight, but this might be the program’s bigwin of the season.

After a thumping in Cheney, Idaho would need a bye week to compete with North Dakota, even in the Kib-bie Dome. Expect the Vandals to put up a fight, but come up short against the better Fighting Hawks team.

This will be the most challenging opponent Idaho has played inside the Kibbie Dome this season. If Idaho can stop North Dakota’s run game and gain an early lead, the Vandals can take care of business, but un-fortunately, I don’t see that happening on Saturday. Expect Isaiah Saunders to join the 2,000 club, even if the Vandals lose their first game at home this season.

The Fighting Hawks boast one of the most potent rushing attacks in the FCS, and Idaho’s recent per-formances on defense do not exactly inspire hope of stopping them. Sticking with one quarterback is an improvement for the Vandals, but their offense will nothave enough to overcome defensive shortcomings.

Idaho’s undefeated streak at home will come to an end this weekend. After Idaho’s showing against EasternWashington, Idaho offers little faith for success. NorthDakota’s front seven has been solid this season, and with an explosive run game, Idaho just won’t be ableto overcome the odds.
