LARAMIE — Surely Wyoming isn’t going to lose to an FCS team at home, right?

Yes, they are.

Wait, Idaho is starting their back-up quarterback? Yeah, they hung with mighty Oregon last week, but it took two trick plays to even get in the end zone. Certainly they aren’t going to win inside a sold out War Memorial Stadium, especially against a Cowboys team that got embarrassed last Saturday in Tempe.

Yes, they are.

Jay Sawvel’s team had chance after chance after chance to put the Vandals away in this one. Penalties — the real dumb kinds, too — along with an early unforced turnover, buried any hope of that in a stunning 17-13 setback that sends this program to 0-2 on the season with rival BYU paying a visit to the high plains in just seven days.

Quarterback Evan Svoboda completed just 10-of-24 throws for 126 yards. He did toss a 20-yard touchdown to Devin Boddie in the first quarter. That was the highlight. The junior signal caller was sacked four times and barely got a finger on a high snap that led to the Vandals’ first touchdown.

Hello darkness, my old friend, indeed.

The following is a news release from Idaho State Police.

POCATELLO — Idaho State Police is investigating a one-vehicle fatality crash that occurred at 7:13 p.m. on Friday at southbound Interstate 15 at milepost 63 in Bannock County.

A 34-year-old male of Fort Harrison, Montana was riding a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle southbound, when he lost control of the vehicle and came to rest in the median. The male succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the crash.

The rider was not wearing a helmet.

The number one lane of travel was blocked for approximately three hours.

This incident remains under investigation by the Idaho State Police.

Wyoming will be looking to shake off the sting of a blowout loss when it takes the field against Idaho in Week 2.

The Cowboys got smacked in their season opener, falling to Arizona State on the road by a final score of 48-7. Starting quarterback Evan Svoboda struggled to generate any offensive flow, completing just six passes for 42 yards with two interceptions.

Unlike last week, Wyoming will be the favorite heading into this matchup, but it can’t overlook a tough Idaho squad. The Vandals gave Oregon, a national title contender, everything it could handle in a close 24-14 loss.

If the Cowboys aren’t fully focused on the task in front of them, we could see an FCS upset on Saturday.
