IDAHO POTATO BOWL - "Would you like fries with that?" It's the Potato Bowl from Boise, Idaho! Kent State won all five of its home games, yet they have struggled away from home. They gave up 54 points in a loss at Central Michigan, a 61-34 loss at Western Michigan, and a 37-16 defeat at Maryland. They also lost the MAC Championship Game in Detroit to Northern Illinois, 41-23. Kent State is 1-6 ATS as a dog and 2-6 ATS in non-conference games. Wyoming also played Northern Illinois, winning 50-43, while Kent lost twice to Northern Illinois, including at home, 52-47. Wyoming has a strong defense, and they are #7 in the nation against the pass and #36 in both scoring and total defense. Wyoming also beat Ball State of the MAC, 45-12. Wyoming's ground game averages 195 yards (30th in the country) behind RBs Xazavian Valladay (984 yards, 5.2 per carry) and Titus Swen (737 yards, 5.9 per carry).
