A bowl game that promised much offense certainly delivered, with just one turnover and a blocked field goal, both in Idaho's favor.
Tied in the final minute and with 3rd down and 11 at their own 49, the Falcons took a 42-35 lead with 32 seconds left on a 51-yard pass from Tyler Sheehan to Freddie Barnes, who easily slipped behind the Idaho secondary for his 17th catch of the game and number 155 in his record-setting season.
After the ensuing kickoff, the Vandals had 24 seconds to work with and completed an incredible 46-yard pass for a first down at the BGSU 16-yard line.
Head coach Robb Akey decided to go for the win and forego overtime; QB Nathan Enderle found Preston Davis alone in the back of the end zone for the two-point conversion to seal the comeback victory.
De'Maundray Woolridge carried Idaho with 126 yards on 22 rushes and two third-quarter touchdowns.
