Thigpen has huge day, Vandals hold-off Rams 38-21.

Dylan Thigpen has officially announced his presence, with authority. The redshirt Freshman running back for the Vandals carried the ball 38 times for 164 yards and a school record 5 rushing touchdowns to lead the Idaho Vandals 4-0 (1-0) to a 38-21 victory over the Colorado State Rams 3-1 (1-1).

The first quarter started with a bang, as both teams turned their opening drives into touchdowns, Idaho was able to tack on another just before the end of the quarter and the Vandals led 14-7 after one.

There would be just 10 points total scored in the 2nd and 3rd quarter combined, but all 10 would be scored by the Vandals. A 2-yard rushing touchdown for Thigpen (his 3rd of 5 on the day) with just 13 seconds left in the first half, and a 40 yard field goal by Carlton Richard gave Idaho a 24-7 lead after 3 quarters.

Early in the 4th quarter, the Vandals seemed to put the game away, capping a long drive with another Thigpen touchdown to take a 31-7 lead. Then, the Rams decided to get back into the game. A 79 yard lightning strike on their next possession, followed by an ill-advised Matt Linehan pick-6 gave Colorado State a very quick 14 points, and suddenly with 2:27 left to go, the score stood at 31-21.

Luckily, for the Vandal fans inside the Kibbie Dome, Idaho was able to calm down, bleed the clock and add an exclamation point touchdown with 18 seconds left to seal the deal and come out with a 38-21 win.

Matt Linehan finished the day going 16 for 24 for 240 yards and 2 interceptions. In addition to his huge day on the ground, Thigpen also caught 4 passes for 43 yards. In all, seven different Vandals caught a pass from Linehan. Jacob Sannon had the longest reception on the day, it went for 46 yards and setup one of Thigpen's rushing touchdown.

During his radio address this week Coach Idaho Coach said that the Idaho defense was focused on making the Colorado State quarterback, make quick decisions. That desire came to fruition. The Vandals defense recorded 4 sacks and 6 tackles for loss. The Rams' quarterback Nick Stevens finished 14 for 20 for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns. While those stats may appear stellar, 79 of those 206 yards and one of the touchdowns all came on just one play. Idaho did a great job in the game of limiting the ability of the Rams to throw the ball deep down the field.

Coach Idaho Coach addressed the media after the game.

"I was happy with our guys today. I know things got hairy there in the 4th, after their long touchdown and then Matt didn't see the backer and threw a pick-6. But, I'll say that there was no panic whatsoever on our sideline. Even when those two sort of shocking plays happened, it wasn't because we had let our guard down, Colorado State is just a good football team and they made a couple of plays. I told the guys after the game, that is how close games in this conference are going to be, every week, any team in this conference can beat any other team. You can throw out the records and stats, this is just a really tough, physical conference, and if you don't come to play, you're going to lose.

Obviously, I have to mention Dylan Thigpen, he had just an absolutely huge day, his speed and vision are incredible for a redshirt freshman. Also, without a great effort from the offensive line, Dylan doesn't have nearly as many yards today. They were getting off of the line really well and punishing the CSU front seven."

Next up for the Vandals will be another bye week, before the homecoming week when the University of Utah Utes will be in Moscow.

Final Score:

Vandals: 38

Rams: 21

List of Multi-talented AssClass Characters

This includes both characters who have actually showcased their many skills and characters who had shown potential to be multi talented.

¤ The teachers, assassins, and Gakuhou won't be included in the list as they are already a given.

Asano Gakushuu

I mean, do I even have to say anything? He's got the grades, the athleticism, the artistry, the reputation, and even being able to responsibly handle all of these at the same time. Rather than asking what else he can do, the better question is: What CAN'T he do??

This guy is the epitome of multi talented because it's not just him having a lot of skills, but you can really expect him to be good at each and every single one of them. Truly an ace.

Akabane Karma

This one is just half-assed lol. But let's be real, I can't even expressed how much of a genius this guy is, it's actually terrifying. Like imagine being able to remember the stuffs you've secretly studied for after two weeks of study ban, to the point that you managed to place 2nd in rankings among the entire 3rd years?? He's ridiculous.

I think it's just him being disinterested that's stopping him, because it should be obvious that he'd be the type to easily become scarily good at the skills he just picked up.

Isogai Yuuma

Being practical is his strongest suit. It probably stemmed from the fact that he's currently the one providing for his family, but I could totally see Isogai picking up plenty of skills just for the sake of making things easier. For all we know, he could've tried applying for different kinds of jobs that required certain skills before he settled on being a waiter.

Then top it all off with his good grades, being athletic, and leading the class well, yeah he's got it good.

Sugino Tomohito

One day we are going to have a whole discussion about Sugino having many hidden talents (that he's also VERY good at doing). Let's start off with baseball. It has been confirmed by Matsui himself that ever since Sugino had joined a local baseball team in town, along with perfecting his own curved ball pitching technique, it's been assessed that in the technical side of baseball, Sugino should have already surpassed Shindou in most areas.

As stated by Karasuma in the character book, Sugino literally has ZERO flaws in his assassination skills and if you look at his stats, there was not a single category that he was lacking in omg. Sugino had also shown exceptional skills in the art department, specifically in acting and drawing, as repeatedly praised by Korosensei.

Chiba Ryuunosuke

Being multi-talented isn't just about having as many skills as possible, it's also about being incredibly good at the skills you have even if they aren't that many. Chiba is a great example of this.

Sniping, maths, architecture, and spatial awareness ー those are some of the skills he was explicitly shown to have in canon and there is no denying that he is good at every single of one these. Not just good actually, but exceptional, to the point of being directly praised by actual professionals themselves.

Kayano Kaede

Being a gifted young actress, it would be no surprise that Kayano would have to have a very wide range of skills in order to be able to tackle any acting role given to her, which is what she was specifically known for.

And who passes the entrance exams of an academically renowned school on their first try at the last minute? She has it all lol.

Kataoka Megu

I think Megu is the type to find herself picking up skills and become good at them since she is a leader with a natural sense of responsibility. Especially when it's sports, because you're telling me that this ace swimmer with a record for freestyle swimming is also good at basketball, enough to both coach, lead, and carry her team all at the same time?? Damn.

Of course not forgetting the fact that she's also one with exceptional grades and is good at languages, Megu is defintely a well-rounded leader. Wish we could have seen more from her.

Hayami Rinka

As remarked by Koro-sensei, Hayami is a "jack of all trades but lacks in her own individuality and passion". Because she is said to be skilled enough in so many things, she became a reliable worker who people can depend on no matter what it is for as she can surely tackle them.

Perhaps a little bit too reliable? While there are some skills that she is obviously good at, like her sniping and dancing, I don't think people would really notice how much of an ace she is at first glance, likely because she wasn't being loud about it (as in she was lowkey).

Maehara Hiroto

Defintely the dress to impress type.

I am adding Maehara to this list because this dude came back 3 years later and suddenly he's good at b-boying!

He's good at sports, dancing, singing, he gets along with people, he dresses well, and for a carefree playboy like him, the last thing you would expect from him is his best subject being Maths, right?

I won't be surprised if plenty of these were just because he wanted to impress the girls he goes on dates with. If anything, it's likely lol. Whatever helps him I guess.

Bonus: Potentially multi-talented

Yada Touka

Being under the tutelage of Irina, it would be no surprise that Yada would end up wanting to expand her skillset as she'd find it beneficial for her in the future.

Nakamura Rio

Maybe because she's bored or just wants to be funny, but Nakamura had shown skills with... random stuffs (like diassembling gadgets or the ability to make geeky boys flustered with her dirty jokes through the school radio... 😭). As long as it can be funny, I think she can pick up anything she can use to toy with others.

Kurahashi Hinano

Drawing! It's surprising because no one can argue that she is the best at it among the girls, but it wasn't explicitly showcased AT ALL (if it weren't for that skills ranking in the manga extras, we wouldn't have known this). I wonder what else she's really good at that haven't been addressed.

Takebayashi Koutarou

I am adding that joke from the career chapter of Koro q that Takebayashi is apparently good enough at dancing to land a career for it 😂

But yes, he also ranked 4th best artist among the boys for being the "2D master". Being an anime fan does have plenty of perks... I wonder how good his singing is 🤔
