Battle of the Domes 2022 Preview
The annual Idaho-Idaho State game will have a tragic pall cast over it after four Idaho students were found dead in a house off campus on Sunday, November 13.
According to the Idaho Statesman, those students were identified as Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d’Alene; Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Post Falls; and Ethan Chapin, 20, of Mount Vernon, Washington. According to WFIN, University of Idaho president Scott Green said they are “believed to be victims of homicide.”
At Idaho head coach Jason Eck’s press conference ahead of the Idaho State game (via the Idaho Statesman), he said that recent events have certainly put things into perspective for himself and the team.
“It’s given some perspective to life, and there are some things that are a lot more important than football,” Eck said. “Obviously, the disappointment of losing a football game is definitely put in perspective when compared to something much more important and serious … the loss of a life of a young person. We’ll be operating with heavy hearts this week.”
He added, “This is not a typical thing to happen in Moscow, Idaho; four people get murdered. So I think it’s very disconcerting to a lot of students and a lot of people in the whole community.”
He also sent condolences to the University of Virginia, whose football team lost three of its members this week to a shooting.
“That was very hard and very tough, a member of the football program being killed,” said Eck, who was an assistant coach at Idaho when one of their players was shot and killed in 2004. “So we have a lot of sympathies for Coach Elliot and everything they have to go through at Virginia this week. … “I think we have to be sympathetic to the cause and understand that maybe (Idaho players’) focus is not going to be as sharp because they have a lot of other things that are going through their minds.”
He added, “Any loss is pretty sad, but it’s even more sad when it’s such a young person with such a full life ahead of them. It’s going to take time to have a grieving process, and I think football’s secondary to that.”
The Idaho vs Idaho State game kicks off Saturday, November 19 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN Plus.
