ABILENE, Texas — After getting gouged on three straight touchdown drives in the second half, and committing a foolish penalty on the final drive, the Idaho Vandals defense looked like the Vandal defense of the first three games on the biggest play of the game Saturday night.
Idaho defensive lineman Zach Kroetzer chased down and stripped Abilene Christian quarterback Maverick McIvor of the football, Matt Irwin (a true freshman from Owyhee High in Meridian) recovered and the Vandals escaped with a 27-24 victory over the Wildcats before 11,719 at Anthony Field.
