Joshua Wood threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Idaho Vandals to a 38-14 road win over the Portland State Vikings on Saturday, Oct. 31, in Hillsboro, Ore.
The Vandals started the season 0-4 but since upsetting the defending national champion Montana State Bobcats on Oct. 2, they have won four of their last five games to enter November 4-5 and 4-2 in the Big Sky.
The Vandals have won 17 out of 19 games against the Vikings dating back to their first matchup in 1970. The Vikings have not won against the Vandals since 2019.
Ryan Jezioro led the Vandals with 194 receiving yards and a 77-yard touchdown reception to put Idaho up 24-7 going into halftime. Wood’s previous touchdown passes came in the first quarter, a 28-yarder to Zack Cara and another to Damonte Bias to put Idaho up 14-7.
Bias and Wood found the end zone once more in the second half to round out the scoring for the Vandals.
Terence Loville led the Vikings with 114 receiving yards on nine receptions and two touchdown catches from two different quarterbacks. Zui Shelton caught eight passes for 83 yards for the Vikings.
Portland State (2-7) will travel to Montana next week while Idaho hosts Eastern Washington.
