Idaho competed as a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), and played their home games on campus in the Kibbie Dome.

The Vandals were led by first-year head coach Robb Akey, hired following the departure of Dennis Erickson for Arizona State in December 2006.

[1][2] The Vandals were winless in eight conference games and went 1–11 overall,[3] which was Idaho's eighth consecutive season with a losing record.

The sole victory came in early September against Cal Poly-SLO, an FCS program.

[4][5] Akey was previously the defensive coordinator at Washington State University in neighboring Pullman.
