Season

With quarterbacks Rick Seefried, Dave Comstock, and Ross Goddard running the offense, [3] [4] the Vandals were defending Big Sky champions. They were 4–7 overall and 2–3 in the Big Sky in 1972.

In the Battle of the Palouse, Idaho suffered a fifth straight loss to neighbor Washington State of the Pac-8, falling 35–14 at the new Martin Stadium in Pullman on October 7. [5]

In their second game with new rival Boise State, the Vandals won 22–21 in the rain at Bronco Stadium on November 25 to even up the series; [6] Idaho did not schedule Northern Arizona until 1975 and played only five games in conference.

University division

Through 1977, the Big Sky was a college division (renamed Division II in 1973) conference for football, except for university division (Division I) member Idaho, which moved down to the new Division I-AA in 1978. Idaho maintained its upper division status in the NCAA by playing university division non-conference opponents (and was ineligible for the college division postseason).

After the season in November, the Big Sky denied Idaho's request for additional football scholarships (75 vs. 62) for 1973. [7]
