PULLMAN, Wash. -- Senior Greg Robertson began the season as Idaho's third-string quarterback, but he ended Saturday as hero of one of the Vandals' biggest wins in 35 years. Robertson threw three second-half touchdown passes in relief of injured Ed Dean as Idaho beat Washington State 28-17, defeating the Cougars (0-3) for the first time since 1965.
Robertson completed 7 of 14 passes for 167 yards with one interception.The Vandals did not come alive until midway through the third quarter, when tackle Mao Tosi forced WSU quarterback Steve Birnbaum to fumble on a sack.
Linebacker Chris Nofoaiga scooped up the fumble and ran 62 yards for Idaho's first touchdown.
