ESPN; Radio: 100.3-FM Line: Gophers by 8½ The Gophers put a wrap on their 2024 season on the third day of 2025, looking to extend their bowl win streak to eight games — and six under coach P.J. Fleck — with a victory over the Hokies.

There were announcers eating ice cream dipped in mayo and running backs throwing touchdown passes, but the Gophers were able to take down Virginia Tech.

History: The Gophers have won seven straight bowl games since beating Missouri in the 2014 Citrus Bowl; that run is the longest streak in Big Ten history, and the longest active run in the nation. Fleck is a perfect 5-0 in bowls at Minnesota since 2018.
