BOISE, Idaho — Matt Linehan threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns, and ran for another score Thursday to help Idaho beat Colorado State 61-50 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in the third-highest scoring game in bowl history.

Idaho (9-4) matched its highest victory total since moving to FBS in 1996, but the victory will do nothing to quell the debate over the school’s decision to move back down to FCS play. In April the Sun Belt informed the school it was dropping Idaho after the 2017 season.

Colorado State (7-6) finished with a bowl loss for the second straight year.

After a scoreless first quarter, it appeared that both teams had dug in for a defensive game. But that quickly dissipated as the teams started rolling up points.

The bowl record for points is 125 in Marshall’s 64-61, double-overtime victory over East Carolina in the 2001 GMAC Bowl. Idaho and Colorado State broke the Potato Bowl scoring record set in 2009 in Idaho’s 43-42 victory over Bowling Green.

NOTES

NORTH CAROLINA: The school released a third Notice of Allegations from the NCAA that included charging the school with providing improper extra benefits after withdrawing a similar charge last spring.

First tied to conduct by academic counselors, the charge now focuses on two former staffers while also citing them for violating “principles of ethical conduct.”
