MOSCOW, Idaho - Game Captains: #4 Tank Calais and #62 Ben Harris

Daniel Porter's 52 rushing yards upped his career rushing total to 2,865 yards, moving him ahead of Patrick Jackson into fifth place all-time at Louisiana Tech. Porter is now 23 yards shy of matching the 2,888 rushing yards Jason Davis (1989-92) recorded in his career. Davis is ranked fourth all-time at Louisiana Tech.

Antonio Baker recorded his 10th career interception in the game, moving him into a tie for eighth place in Louisiana Tech history with Jean Dornier (1977-79). Baker's 10 interceptions rank him tied for 11 with eight other players in the active career leaders in the nation.

The 21 points scored by Louisiana Tech in the first quarter marks the most number of points Tech has scored in an opening quarter since scoring 21 in a 27-23 win over San Jose State on Nov. 17, 2007.

Louisiana Tech racked up 360 yards of offense in the first half at Idaho Saturday marking the first time the Bulldogs have recorded over 350 yards of offense in the first half since registering 384 yards in the first half of the Idaho game in Ruston on Oct. 18, 2008.

Louisiana Tech fell to 0-5 on the road with a 3-5 overall mark Saturday. The defeat marked Louisiana Tech's first loss in Moscow.

Idaho returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown marking the first time a team has returned a kickoff for a touchdown against Louisiana Tech since Sept. 15, 2007 when Cal's Lavelle Hawkins returned a kickoff 90 yards. That kickoff return for a touchdown also opened the game.

Cruz Williams caught his first career touchdown pass with Louisiana Tech's first touchdown of the game, a 17-yard reception from Ross Jenkins.

Daniel Porter's three-yard run into the end zone midway through the first quarter marked his 24th career rushing touchdown, giving him sole possession of seventh place all-time at Louisiana Tech in career rushing touchdowns.

Josh Victorian recorded his first career interception with 0:37 to play in the second quarter. Victorian's interception came in the Bulldog end zone as he outfought Idaho 6-foot-6 receiver Eric Greenwood, snuffing a possible Idaho scoring drive.

Ross Jenkins matched a career-best three touchdown passes in Saturday's game - all in the first half.

Idaho's fumble that was recovered by Louisiana Tech in the third quarter, marked Kwame Jordan's first career forced fumble and Solomon Randle's first career fumble recovery.
