Bowling in Boise
For the first time since 1997, Utah State is going bowling.
This year, representatives from the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl have invited USU to play in the game Dec. 17.
USU head coach Gary Andersen said the bowl is a tremendous opportunity.
“It is a fantastic reward for all of the hard work and dedication that these kids have put in,” the third-year head coach said. “I am so happy for them. Building a football program is a community event.”
While it has not yet been decided which, Utah State will face a top finisher in the Mid-American Conference. Ohio or Toledo are likely opponents.
The Aggies are 7-1 all-time against teams from the MAC and last beat Northern Illinois 42-7 at home in 1995.
Kickoff is set for Saturday, Dec. 17 at 3:30 p.m.
“Bronco Stadium will be decked with Aggie blue,” Andersen said.
