--RB Deonte Jackson capped a productive spring by running for 84 yards on 13 carries in the spring game, including a 40-yard touchdown run.

--S Shiloh Keo, who has started every game in his first two seasons, made the only interception of the Vandals' spring game. He also recovered a fumble. He led Idaho in both statistics last season.

SPRING MOVERS

S Virdell Larkins -- The junior college transfer who originally was at California, was so impressive in spring drills that coaches moved promising freshman Kenneth Patton from safety to cornerback.

RB Princeton McCarty -- He solidified his role of top backup to starter Deonte Jackson by running for four touchdowns in Idaho's spring game. He ran for 124 yards in the game.

WR Eric Greenwood -- Greenwood, who played sparingly as a freshman, helped himself during spring drills. The sophomore capped a productive month by catching seven passes for 95 yards in the spring game.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"The one thing I wanted to see out of spring practice was us getting better at playing football, and I think we are. I saw the team doing much better things on the field. It was a good blend of a lot of things, and I thought we got better." -- Idaho coach Robb Akey.
