Friday evening's Idaho Potato Bowl ultimately saw Ohio dispose of Nevada by a final score of 30-21. The Bobcats thoroughly dominated the Wolf Pack as the game was largely decided after the third quarter with Ohio sporting a 30-9 lead. To celebrate the win (and in honor of the Potato Bowl itself), Bobcats players were spotted dumping french fries on the head of HC Frank Solich. For those curious, yes, Solich embraced the moment and consumed a few.

This is amazing, and frankly, we would have been disappointed if Ohio resorted to the traditional gatorade bath. Showering your head coach with french fries is clearly the proper way to celebrate the Potato Bowl.

It goes without saying that Ohio did college football a great service with its impromptu pandemonium.
