American college football season
The 1920 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1920 college football season. Idaho was led by first-year head coach Thomas Kelley in their penultimate season as an independent before joining the Pacific Coast Conference in 1922.[3][4] The Vandals had one home game in Moscow on campus at MacLean Field, with one in Boise at the state fairgrounds.
Idaho dropped a sixth consecutive game to Washington State in the Battle of the Palouse, falling 7–14 in the opener in Moscow.[5][6] Three years later, the Vandals won the first of three consecutive, their only three-peat in the rivalry series.
After coming up six points short at Oregon to start with two losses,[7][8] Idaho won its last four games.
