ABOUT IDAHO: The Vandals are coming off a season-opening loss at No. 15/14 Penn State, in which 21 newcomers made their Idaho debuts. The Vandals return 14 starters from the 2018 season, including eight on offense - led by wide receiver duo Jeff Cotton and Cutrell Haywood. Cotton led Idaho's offense at Penn State, with 83 yards on six catches.
 
ABOUT CENTRAL WASHINGTON: First-year head coach Chris Fisk takes over the Wildcats after serving as their co-offensive coordinator the last three seasons, helping CWU post a 26-7 record, claim two conference titles and make one trip to the NCAA Division II Playoffs. The Wildcats are led by returning 1,000-yard rusher Michael Roots, who paced an offense that averaged 47.7 points and 540.9 yards per game a year ago. Saturday is CWU's season opener.
 
HOME OPENERS: Idaho has won its last three home openers and is 29-11 all-time in home openers played at the Kibbie Dome. The Vandals won 19 out of 20 home openers from 1979-1998. They also enjoyed a five-year win streak in home openers from 2006-10. The current three-year win streak comes on the heels of a five-year skid.
 
DOME SWEET DOME: Idaho finished its 2018 home slate with a 4-1 record. It matches the 2016 squad's 4-1 mark for the best home winning percentage since 1996 when the Vandals went 5-0 in the Dome - their last year without a home loss. Idaho football has recorded six unbeaten home seasons since the Kibbie Dome opened in 1975 (1976, 1982, 1988, 1994, 1995 and 1996).
