My Own Private Idaho: An Idaho Vandals Dynasty (NCAA Football 14)

[Steelers19]

Hey guys! After a long period of thought I have decided to start an offline dynasty as a coach for the Idaho Vandals! I was either going to play as Idaho or Umass, but I ultimately went with Idaho because I don't like the MAC very much.

I will be playing as an independent this season before I join the sun belt next year. I hope yinz enjoy!

About Idaho:

Idaho is a school located in Moscow, Idaho. Football was never really their strength, and that has showed in recent years. Their last season with at least 6 wins was in 2010, since then they have not won more then 2 games. They are playing as an independent this year after the Western Athletic Conference stopped playing football. They will join the Sun Belt next year.

A New Hope:

Idaho alumni Sean Meehan has arrived to turn the Vandals into a powerhouse. He says his main coaching philosophy is "a good offense is the best defense." He hopes that the offense can put up huge numbers in the future and hopes the defense can at least be average.

Rules:
Sliders: authentic
Difficulty: All American
Roster: Pastapadre
Playbook: Idaho offense, 3-4 defense

who'd have expected three Idaho dynasties on here...

Out of curiosity, why the Sun Belt next season for a team in Idaho?
