The Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-4) escaped the treacherous field conditions of Yankee Stadium with a 28-20 win over the Syracuse Orange (7-6) in the Pinstripe Bowl.
Quarterback Tanner Morgan saw his first game action since Nov. 5, taking over under center after starter Athan Kaliakmanis was lost to an apparent right ankle injury in the second quarter. Morgan finished 4-of-7 for 58 passing yards and two touchdowns in his final game.
The Gophers were also without Mohamed Ibrahim in the second half. He rushed for 71 yards and one touchdown in the first half, wrapping up his place among the greatest running backs in Minnesota history.
