Famous Idaho Potato Bowl History

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl Logo

The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl bowl began in 1997, and the matchup currently features schools from the Mountain West Conference and Mid-American Conference (MAC). The game takes place at Albertsons Stadium from Boise, Idaho. This game was previously called the Humanitarian Bowl and MPC Computers Bowl.

Favorites won and covered three straight games in this bowl, which included Ohio's 30-21 win over Nevada in the 2019 installment. In 2020, Nevada picked up a win as a 1-point underdog against Tulane, winning 38-27 as the 'over' connected.

In 2021, Kent State of the MAC and Wyoming of the Mountain West Conference squared off on Dec. 21, 2021, with the Cowboys winning a 52-38 shootout against the Golden Flashes as the 'over' easily cashed.

The 'over' has cashed in seven of the past eight bowl games played on the Smurf Turf in Boise, but underdogs have won the last two outright, including Georgia State rolling past Utah State in 2023.
