For the Idaho Vandals on Saturday, the defense clicked for about 45 minutes, while the offense clicked for just under 30. The result? The Vandals fell to the No. 14 Lamar Cardinals 23-17 at the P1FCU Kibbie Dome.”

    Coach Thomas Ford Jr. cited a slow offensive start as a key issue“A slow start on offense has been a throughline throughout all of the Vandals’ games so far this season, including this loss to Lamar (2-1). Idaho coach Thomas Ford Jr. said that the first thing that Idaho (0-3, 0-1 Big Sky) plans on doing to try to solve that issue is to change the way the offense practices and emphasize starting fast. ”

    Coach Thomas Ford Jr. stated, 'We’ve got to get off to a faster start if we want to have success this year.'“"That is something that we obviously struggled with today," Ford said. "Struggled with that in Week 1, and really in Week 2 (too). We’ve got to do a better job starting fast. And so we’ll continue to look at the way we practice, the drills that we’re doing in practice, especially the competitive drills, because I think one thing we can continue to do is get those guys competing right away. "There’s no time to wait to compete, and we’ve got to get off to a faster start if we want to have success this year."”
