In just two days the No. 3 Oregon Ducks will kick off the 2024 college football season at home against the Idaho Vandals. Idaho enters the season at No. 7 in the FCS coaches rankings.

To help fans get ready for Saturday’s game, I sat down with Andrew Quinn of KREM 2 Sports who covers the Vandals to take a look at some of the top players to know. You can watch the full episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast in the video link at the bottom of this story.

“Without a doubt talking to players, coaches, anyone involved with the Idaho program they just rave about this kid’s work ethic. They say he’s in the Kibbie Dome about 98% of the time. If you walk into the Kibbie Dome you will see Jack Layne every day after practices. He just seems like a workaholic. He’s spent the last two years learning and I think he’s ready for this opportunity.”

“If I was to give one guy that Oregon should spotlight with a big O on Saturday his name is Abraham Williams. He will be returning kicks and punts for Idaho and he is ultra dangerous. This is a dude you probably want to kick the ball away from, because why would you let one guy hurt you? When you could send your defense out there and try to get some stops against Jack Layne. Definitely spotlight Abraham Williams. This guy’s been easily the best kick returner in the Big Sky over the last two years. He transfered from Weber State this offseason to Idaho. He plays corner, he’s got good size. Obviously very fast, but don’t really know what his cover skills are like, so I’d really like to see him get in there and get stuck in there against some of these Duck receivers.”

“Anybody you talk to right now says Idaho may have the best D-line in the entire Big Sky. These D-line guys are for real. They’ve got two edge rushers in Keyshawn James-Newby and Malakai Williams who’ve done a good job of getting to the quarterback over the last two years.”

“They’ve got a big 330-pound nose tackle in the middle named Jahkari Larmond, who is a big space eater. Definitely is great at trying to stop the run a little bit.”

One person is dead after a U-Haul truck appears to have accidentally exploded in a parking lot in Idaho early Saturday, according to officials.

The explosion caused damage within the blast radius including to a Courtyard Marriott and Old Navy, according to the Lewiston Fire Department and City of Lewiston Police Department.

Initial findings indicate the vehicle was transporting stored materials, including flammable items such as gasoline and propane tanks, according to officials.

“At this time, there is no indication the incident is criminal in nature,” Lewiston Fire Marshal Julian Sorrell said in a statement.

2 Idaho Lottery players will be millionaires in the new year – East Idaho News

BOISE – Two lucky Idaho Lottery players who participated in the 2025 Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle will begin the New Year as Idaho’s newest millionaires!

All 500,000 tickets in the Idaho Lottery’s traditional holiday game, the Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle, have been sold and the game has officially ended. The last ticket was sold Thursday, December 11.

This year’s game was one of the fastest-selling in the 19-year history of the Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle. After last year’s very successful game, the Idaho Lottery continued the game with two top prizes of $1,000,000. They also added a $100,000 prize and a $50,000 prize.

It is the 18th sellout and the 11th time the game has sold out before Christmas.

“We want to remind everyone this game features two, one-million-dollar top prizes. Last year, unfortunately, one of those $1,000,000 prizes was never claimed,” said Andrew Arulanandam, Idaho Lottery Director. “Keep your tickets in a safe place and remember to go online and check them after the drawing.”

The winning numbers will be announced at 5:59 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, December 29.

“Idaho Raffle tickets are popular holiday gifts. So, this year, two lucky Idahoans could be instant millionaires because of their stocking stuffers!” added Arulanandam.

Players can check their tickets for winning numbers online, at all Idaho Lottery retail locations, on the Idaho Lottery winning numbers hotline at (208) 334-4656, or by using the Idaho Lottery Check-a-Ticket app for their iPhone or Android phone.

Besides the guaranteed top prizes of $1,000,000, there are over 21,500 additional prizes ranging from $15 up to $100,000. This year’s game also featured twenty, $1,000 prizes mid-game for players who purchased one of the 25,000th tickets. There were 15 daily, $1,000 winners during the first 15 days of sales. All players are encouraged to check their tickets for these promotion winners manually by visiting idaholottery.com.

All winning tickets of $1,000 and higher in this game must be claimed at Lottery offices in Boise. Players will have 180 days after the draw announcement on December 29, to claim their prizes.

This year’s Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle generated over $1.7 million for the Idaho Lottery’s beneficiaries, Idaho public schools and buildings.

During this gift giving season, the Idaho Lottery would like to remind everyone to gift Lottery tickets responsibly. You must be 18 years old to buy, sell, or redeem Lottery products in Idaho.

The following is a current list of $1,000 promotional winning tickets that remain unclaimed from this year’s Raffle:
