Some notables:
This is the most points the Vandals have ever scored against the Eagles. The most in the previous 30 games was 51, in 1990.
Idaho has racked up more yards today than any of Eastern's previous opponents this season.

That is five drives, five touchdowns in the first half for the Idaho Vandals.
They lead the Eagles, 35-10, with 10 seconds until halftime.
The Eagles will receive the second-half kickoff.

This is tied for the most points the Eagles have allowed in the first half this season. They also allowed 28 to Montana State.
Eagles looked to have a stop on that drive right away, but they got called for a roughing the passer penalty on a third down play.

Not so sure about that roughing the passer call.
