Bowling Green Shocks Minnesota As 31-Point Underdog

Bowling Green stunned college football fans across the country as the 31-point underdog snagged an interception with 2:13 to go against Minnesota, eventually beating the Gophers 14–10.

Bowling Green had entered Saturday's matchup with 10 straight losses against FBS schools, while Minnesota just beat Colorado 30-0 last week. Minnesota had racked up 21 straight non-conference victories before Saturday, dating back to Sept. 3, 2015, per 247 Sports.

Over 46,000 fans watched as Minnesota's offense, who tallied 441 yards against Colorado, scored just single field goal and touchdown. It didn't help that star wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell played only a single snap before seeming to agitate a lingering injury.
