eams. The Gophers started off the 2023 season with a 5-3 record, including a win against No. 24 Iowa. It seemed like a sure thing that Minnesota could pick up a win in the last four games of the year, they did not, but they still caught a bowl game bid and beat Bowling Green in the Quick Lane Bowl.
Now, Minnesota has seven wins in the 2024 season and they have already received their bowl desination. The Gophers will be taking on the 6-6 Virginia Tech Hokies in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. This is Virginia Tech's second consecutive bowl game under head coach Brent Pry, Virginia Tech's first time having consecutive bowl games since 2019 and 2018. The 2024 Hokies' season was highlighted by wins against Georgia Tech, Boston College, and Marshall. Virginia Tech's schedule set them up for way more wins than they received. The Hokies were upset by Vanderbilt.
