American college football season
The 1996 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1996 NCAA Division I-A football season . The Vandals , led by second-year head coach Chris Tormey , were members of the Big West Conference and played their home games at the Kibbie Dome , an indoor facility on campus in Moscow, Idaho . Idaho was 6–5 overall and 3–2 in conference play.
Idaho's home winning streak in the Kibbie Dome extended to seventeen games this season, winning all five home games, but they had only one road victory. That was over rival Boise State in the season finale in Boise, the fourteenth win over the Broncos in the last fifteen seasons.[ 1]
With the move up to Division I-A this season, Idaho changed its uniforms' shade of gold from yellow to metallic.[ 2]
