MOSCOW, Idaho - Idaho plays the final of its season-opening road trip that includes five true road games and three neutral-site games. The Vandals play at UTSA who is 1-5 on the season. Like the Vandals, the Roadrunners have been on the road a lot early with only one road game, a 76-70 win over Abilene Christian. The game will be broadcast on the UTSA website while a radio broadcast can be heard on AM 849 KMAX or on GoVandals.com.
