Vandals’ first spring

scrimmage is today

MOSCOW — The Idaho Vandals will line up against each other today at 10 a.m. in their first scrimmage of the spring.

Coach Paul Petrino likes what he has seen so far in the Vandals’ five spring practices and he knows what he wants to see today.

“Anytime you’re scrimmaging,” he said, “the biggest thing you want to see is guys playing hard, the defensive tackling really well, and the offense finishing their blocks and playing with good technique.”
