WAC Conference - Idaho Vandals Preview
There's a feeling of confidence heading into the 2006 season as the Idaho Vandals will have one of the most experienced teams in the WAC returning 16 players. New HC Dennis Erickson is a proven collegiate head coach, and has tasted victory in Moscow back in 1982-85. QB Steven Wichman, who should have an outstanding season, could lead the offense back to its best days, when it averaged 30+ PPG. The O-Line, RB corps, and WR corps are all experienced and are loaded with depth. The Vandals could take a lot of WAC teams off guard with its offense.

On Defense, the Vandals surrendered 38 PPG last season, so there's lot of room for improvement. Strong off-season recruiting gives the D a boost and will help it improve if they don't run into injuries. K Mike Barrow leads the Special Teams unit; he hit 16 of 19 FG attempts last season, and is a standout place-kicker.

A winning season for the Vandals may not happen, but four to five wins is a strong possibility. HC Erickson seems excited about his new team, and under his guidance the Vandals could make some noise in the WAC - just not this year.
