The Washington State Cougars will face off against the Utah State Aggies in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, scheduled for December 22, 2025, at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho. Both teams enter the game with identical records of 6-6, having struggled to maintain momentum throughout the season.

In terms of offensive performance, Utah State holds a notable advantage with senior quarterback Bryson Barnes at the helm. Barnes has demonstrated versatility, leading the Aggies not only in passing but also in rushing with a total of 733 yards. His performance has been supported by junior receiver Braden Pegan, who is just 74 yards shy of reaching the 1,000-yard milestone in receiving.
On the other side, Washington State’s senior quarterback Zevi Eckhaus has shown flashes of brilliance, throwing for 12 touchdowns.
