Week 1 matchups don’t get a lot more intimate than Saturday’s season-opening showdown between Idaho and Washington State. The Battle of the Palouse is a long and storied rivalry between two schools situated less than eight miles apart from one another and will be run for the 93rd time as part of their college football programs this weekend.
The Cougars currently dominate that record 72-17-3 and have won the last 10 straight meetings between the teams in a run that dates back to 2001. However, the Vandals can take heart knowing the most recent clash between the pair, a 24-17 slugfest in September 2022, was the closest scoreline they’ve produced since they last won this rivalry a quarter of a century ago.
Fans of FBS contender Washington State are watching with bated breath to see what head coach newcomer Jimmy Rogers can produce in his first year at the helm. Just three offensive starters have returned in what is otherwise an almost brand-new roster, and Rogers has done his utmost to retain a certain mystique about his plans.
FCS hopeful Idaho is also under new (and old) management after Thomas Ford Jr. returned for his second stint coaching the Vandals. And he’s not the only one, either, after new starting quarterback Joshua Wood joined from Fresno State, hoping to improve upon last year’s 10-4 season and a run to the FCS quarter-finals.
