[Vision2020] Linehan Loses Assistant Holt to USC

[Carl Westberg]

Could things get any weirder?  Now it looks like Dennis Erickson is likely 
to come back to Idaho.  Nick Holt scheduled a game against USC to start the 
2007 Idaho season, and now he'll be the defensive coordinator for the 
Trojans against the team he used to coach.
