27-24 Auburn.

Or I could see us losing. Can’t imagine we will be excited about an early kickoff against Minnesota and Fleck will use this as a huge game for his program.

On paper, I like the matchup for us... Minnesota’s defense is middle of the pack in the Big Ten in most defensive stats... and bottom half in creating sacks/TFLs. We should be able to move the ball effectively... and I like our defense vs anybody.

But just like all non-playoff bowl games, it’ll come down to who’s motivated to be there... with that, I have no clue.

Everyone is convinced Fleck is just going to fire them up...that was the same narrative when they were going to beat Wisconsin. How did that work out?

34-13 AU

Minnesota’s wins came against:

South Dakota State (8-5 FCS) by 7pts
Fresno State (4-8) in double OT
GA Southern (7-5) by 3pts
Purdue (4-8) by 7pts
Illinois (6-6) by blowout
Nebraska (5-7) by blowout
Rutgers (2-10) by blowout
Maryland (3-9) by blowout
Penn State (10-2) by 5
Northwestern (2-9) by blowout

The opponents they beat went a combined 51-70. 18 of those 51 wins were from Penn State and FCS SD State...

This isn’t a good gopher football team.. they just happened to run into a season where they avoided Michigan and Ohio State and played Penn State at home. They saw the best case scenario schedule that they could ever draw

I'm going to have to wait a while to get a feel. I can see us being totally uninterested and playing poorly. Especially if the NFL prospects sit. The weird thing is I think we could still win with a fairly poor performance?

Kind of a tough balance for Gus/coaches I think.

Don't want to shite on your bowl or your seniors' accomplishment.

But it'd be good to go into that game with a chip on your shoulder. "The Committee thinks there are 3 B10 teams better than you. One of them has 3 losses and is 4 spots higher than you. The Citrus Bowl took Alabama over you."

I think we win by 7 or 10 with a late score to seal it. Fleck will have them ready to go, this won't be a cake walk.

I'm trying to get on one of their boards to talk football but I haven't been approved yet. They've been over here doing some recon as well.

Auburn by 3 touchdowns. Personally I think Ohio State is the only BIG team with great speed. Gophers from what I have seen have big slow OL, y’all have big physical quick DL.

I think the team will play hard in this one, a lot of younger guys will get a chance.


27-17

I like how we managed to get a Clemson fan on here somehow
