Idaho Game

This weekend I went to my first-ever Cougar football game as a student. It was so much fun! We played Idaho and won the game 45-28. The Vandals are pretty good this year, and they kept up with the Cougars for most of the first half. It was strange to see Rob Akey on the wrong side of the field, wearing black and gold. Kristen came down for the game, and we sat with Alison, Kristian, Laura, Katie (Nick's girlfriend), and Justin Vance. We were saving seats for Courtney and Lindsey and some of their friends, but they ended up being late and sitting somewhere else.

At first I was a bit disappointed that the Cougars had such a tough time with our Idaho neighbors, especially considering the strength of the Pac-10 this year. However, looking back at the game makes me think that the Vandals are simply a lot better than they've been in recent years. After all, they played pretty competitively against USC a few weeks ago. Still, the Cougars need to step it up, because there are no more 'easy' games this season.
