2022 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl

They scored another touchdown on their third drive, but the extra point was blocked and returned for a defensive two-point conversion by Eastern Michigan's Tristen Hines.

Both teams' fortunes turned from there: Eastern Michigan scored touchdowns on each of their final four drives of the first half, and San Jose State committed a turnover on downs and threw two interceptions, giving the Eagles a 17-point halftime lead.

The teams traded punts on each of their first two drives of the third quarter before Eastern Michigan extended their lead with a 51-yard Jesús Gómez field goal, followed by a San Jose State touchdown.

[3] Scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. MST start, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl began at 1:33 p.m. with the opening kickoff by Eastern Michigan's Brady Pohl.

San Jose State found the end zone quickly on their opening drive, scoring on a 27-yard rush by Chevan Cordeiro on their third play from scrimmage.

The Eagles followed up with a touchdown of their own, with a 58-yard pass from Tristan Powell to Dylan Drummond setting up a 1-yard Samson Evans rush later in the drive, making the score 13–9 in favor of the Spartans.

On their third play, Powell and Lassiter connected for a 45-yard gain, and Eastern Michigan was able to move the ball inside the 10-yard-line with a 7-yard rush on 3rd & 4 from the San Jose State 11-yard-line.

Two plays later, Powell passed to Lassiter on 2nd & Goal for a 1-yard touchdown, giving Eastern Michigan a three-point lead along with the extra point by Jesús Gómez.

After a 6-yard pass on first down, the Spartans stalled and forced 4th & 1 from their own 44-yard-line, but were unable to convert as Robinson rushed for no gain and possession turned over to Eastern Michigan at that spot.

A pair of long gains - a Powell pass to Gunnar Oakes for 19 yards and a 31-yard rush by Jaylon Jackson, the latter for a touchdown - put the Eagles offense back in motion and increased their lead to 21 points.

The ensuing kickoff was a touchback and the Eagles were able to take over six minutes off of the clock on their drive, with several passes by Powell gaining first downs and Jackson rushes picking up modest yardage.

They reached midfield with several Cordeiro passes but Russell Vaden IV's interception and return to the San Jose State 31-yard-line put an end to the drive.
