Monday’s Famous Idaho Potato Bowl featured one of the strangest typographic errors in ESPN broadcast history. During Fresno State’s bowl game against Northern Illinois, the ESPN graphic did not list Fresno State’s mascot as the Bulldogs.

ESPN gave explanation why the spelling error was shown during the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl game between Fresno State and Northern Illinois. Throughout the broadcast Fresno State was refereed to as the “Bulldongs” instead of the Bulldogs.

The Northern Illinois Huskies (7-5) and Fresno State Bulldogs (6-6) meet Monday in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Kickoff from Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho, is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).

The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 6-7 on the season under interim head coach Tim Skipper. However, it will be Skipper's final game in charge, as former North Dakota State head coach Matt Entz has been hired as Fresno State's full-time head coach.

Somebody running the graphics for ESPN’s coverage of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl was having a rough day. The bowl game featured the Northern Illinois Huskies and the Fresno State Bulldogs, but on several occasions during the game, it seems Fresno State was given an unfortunate new nickname.

The mistake was captured when Fresno State scored its first touchdown. The error continued during the game. Fresno State lost to Northern Illinois 28-20 in double overtime, snapping the Bulldogs’ six-bowl winning streak. It is unclear how and why the mistake happened.

Enter the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, which will be played on Boise State’s Smurf Turf between Northern Illinois and Fresno State. These two programs might not be the powerhouses at the top of the college football world, but there’s still plenty for both sides to play for here.

Freshman wide receiver George Dimopoulos threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Dane Pardridge on the first play of double overtime and Jordan Hansen ended the game on a fourth-down sack to give the Huskies a 28-20 victory over Fresno State.
