Minnesota vs Washington State 7:00 ET
Gophers (+) over Cougars- A lot of weird things happen during the bowl season as coaches leave for other jobs, players 'rest' to prepare for the draft, players get suspended and other boycott their own games. The later of it all has affected this match-up as Minnesota has had 10 player suspended and another 'Group-of-10' were not going to play in protest. (No, not the Trump election) Washington State seems to start and close their seasons on the same note and it is a sour one. After a poor start and a great run the Cougars were netted and dropped their final two. It would appear that Washington State's strength (passing) is Minnesota's weakness (pass defense). We've seen it time and again that the team that enters a bowl game short-handed pulls off the win. Take the GOPHERS!
