BOISE — To the winners go the spoils. And in this case, it's the Akron Zips who will be hauling a giant glass bowl full of big Idaho potatoes back to Ohio.
Akron held on for a 23-21 victory over Utah State Tuesday afternoon in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl at Albertsons Stadium to finish the season with a school record eight victories and its first win in a bowl game since moving up to the FBS level in 1987.
