MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) -- Dominque Blackman threw for 304 yards and
two touchdowns, and Idaho got its first win of the season in its
Western Athletic Conference opener Saturday, beating New Mexico
State 26-18.



Blackman, who was 26 of 48, recovered from throwing an
interception on the game's first snap. He hit Najee Lovett on a
35-yard score in the first quarter and Jahrie Level from 17
yards in the second. Trey Farquhar added four field goals,
including a 55-yarder just before halftime that tied a career
high, for the Vandals (1-5), who got their 14th win in 19 tries
against NMSU.



Andrew Manley threw for 309 yards, with two interceptions, for
the Aggies (1-5, 0-2), including a 30-yard touchdown to Kemonte
Bateman. Manley's 1-yard scoring run late in the fourth quarter,
plus a two-point conversion, made it a one-possession game. The
Vandals, however, recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out
the clock.
