NOTES
MOSCOW, Idaho – A balanced offensive performance and a strong second half defensive showing led the UC Davis Aggies (1-0, 1-0) past the No. 19 Idaho Vandals (1-1, 1-1), 27-17, on Saturday afternoon in the Kibbie Dome.
Â
The Vandals got up by 10 at 17-7 early in the third quarter on a 9-yard run by quarterback
Mike Beaudry. The Aggies bounced back to score on the ensuing drive to cut into the deficit and then claimed the lead midway through the third on a Carson Crawford touchdown. UC Davis would add some insurance four minutes later on a Lan Larison touchdown with just over three minutes to play.
Â
Beaudry finished the day 27-of-37 for 236 yards and a score. He threw two picks, with the second coming late as the Vandals were trying to mount a comeback. Beaudry also led the way for Idaho on the ground, with 44 total yards on eight attempts.
Nick Romano added 32 yards and
Roshaun Johnson chipped in with 21 on just four carries.
Â
Hayden Hatten again led the Vandals in receiving, finishing with eight catches for 74 yards.
Logan Kendall got in on the action with one reception and made the most of it by barreling through the Aggie defense for 19 yards and a touchdown.
Â
Tre Walker was a stud on defense and finished with 19 total tackles, including 1.5 tackles-for-loss. His 19 total tackles are the most by a Vandal since Tre'Shawn Robinson went for 20 against Utah State in 2011.
Fa'Avae Fa'Avae finished with 11 tackles and
Tyrese Dedmon added 10, both career highs.
Â
Next up the Vandals hit the road for the first time this season, with a trip to Flagstaff to take on Northern Arizona on Saturday, March 13.
