FCS playoffs: Vandals come up short ... UAlbany makes big plays in fourth quarter to end Idaho’s season

“Our message to our team — we shouldn’t hang our heads, we took another huge step,” said Idaho coach Jason Eck, whose Vandals last week notched their first FCS playoff win since 1993, and went back-to-back in the playoffs for the first time since 1994-95. “I’m proud of this team. I think we settled for too many long field goals. That’s a really good defense, but I felt we had opportunities to score more.”
