Then as a 6-6 squad in 2018, they beat Georgia Tech.This matchup will harken to Minnesota’s most-surprising loss under head coach P.J. Fleck; the Gophers were a 31-point favorite and lost at home to Bowling Green, 14-10, in 2021.The majority of national bowl projections earlier this week had the Gophers going to the Quick Lane Bowl, but that picture seemed to change Saturday night with Georgia losing the SEC championship game.

Mourinho makes the right moves in Roma’s comeback win amid disciplinary case over accusations
