2011 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL GAME INFO:
Date: December 17, 2011
Location: Boise, Idaho
Venue: Bronco Stadium
Teams: Ohio University Bobcats vs. Utah State Aggies
The Ohio University Bobcats are looking for than just a bowl win this year—they’re looking for validation. The 9-4 Bobcats lost the MAC Championship to the Northern Illinois Bobcats after holding a 20-0 lead at halftime, but couldn’t hold on despite a strong offense led by 3,000-yard passer Tyler Tettleton and stout defense. In the 7-5 Utah State, however, they won’t find a pushover happy to be playing during bowl season. The Aggies have rolled off five straight wins, which led them to their first back-to-back bowl berths in school history. There will be a lot to be played for on the blue field of Boise, Idaho’s Bronco Stadium on December 17th. Make sure to get your tickets soon!

The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is played at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. The stadium is on the campus of Boise State University, and is well recognized for its blue playing surface. Boise State has the most appearances at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl with four. They have won three of the four games, and have an incredible record on their home field. The 2006 game featured Miami versus Nevada, in which Miami would win 21-20 in Hurricanes coach Larry Coker’s last game as head coach. The action of the game was marred by an apparent refereeing mistake made when an instant replay call took a first down away from Nevada that would likely have given them a chance to win the game.
