College football bowl games: Who plays today Monday, December 23? Times and matchups
The Myrtle Beach Bowl and the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl are the main attractions on Monday as the Christmas football action continues.
After the culmination of the college football regular season earlier this month the postseason action began last Friday with the first of the playoff games. There’s also a series of bowl games, which continue on Monday, December 23.
First up it’s the Myrtle Beach Bowl, where Coastal Caroline take on UTSA at Brookes Stadium in Conway, South Carolina. That game gets underway at 11am ET, with the action broadcast live on ESPN.
That’s followed by the slickly-named Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, bringing together Northern Illinois and Fresno State Bulldogs at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho. The second game of the day kicks off at 2:30pm ET, also available to view on ESPN.

Ahead of the Potato Bowl, NIU head coach Thomas Hammock said: “It’s been a couple weeks since we had the opportunity to play as a team. I love the preparation that we have put in to this, we have added some developmental practice as well as some practice to keep us sharp. I really like the way that our football team has been locked in and focused.”
