Syracuse football: Revisiting the 2013 Texas Bowl

We’re just two days away from a Bowl rematch between the Syracuse Orange and Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Wait... rematch?

That’s right, SU actually faced off against Minnesota in the 2013 Texas Bowl and scraped out a 21-17 win at the Houston Texans’ Reliant Stadium (now NRG Stadium). Before the two squads clash again in the Bronx, let’s relive their previous bout in the Lone Star State:
