Idaho opened the season with two convincing non-conference victories,[3] then shut out neighbor Washington State 14–0 in the Battle of the Palouse across the border at Rogers Field in Pullman, breaking an eight-game losing streak in the series.[4][5] It was the first of three consecutive wins over the Cougars in the rivalry. The Vandals did not break the winless streak against Oregon, but battled to a scoreless tie at Hayward Field in Eugene.[6] Idaho remained undefeated after six games, all shutouts,[7] but lost the final two on the road in California.[8][9]
