Here’s how you can watch Thursday’s Potato Bowl matchup between Idaho and Colorado State online.
A couple of years ago, Colorado State was considered one of the up-and-coming teams in college football. However, Jim McElwain left for the Florida head coaching job and the Rams were forced to essentially start over with a new coach. However, they have not skipped a beat.
The Rams were just 7-5 this season, but their bowl streak lives on. They won four of their final five games of the season, including an impressive 63-31 victory over San Diego State in the season finale.
Nick Stevens has taken over as the starting quarterback and is playing well, passing for 1,491 yards, 14 touchdowns and three picks in six starts. Michael Gallup and Dalyn Dawkins are the top weapons in the offensive scheme.
Idaho might have the better record between the two teams as well as essentially possessing home-field advantage, but the Vandals will have their hands full. They did, however, win their final four games and six of seven to close out the season.
The run game has been struggling all season long as the Vandals have averaged just 141.7 yards per game on the ground. Matt Linehan has had to make up for it with his arm, throwing for 2,803 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Despite having a mediocre ground attack, Isaiah Saunders leads the way on the ground for the Vandals after a red-hot finish to the season. He has 584 yards and six touchdowns, a majority of that production coming in the final six games.
