Yankee Stadium is the backdrop for the seventh meeting between ACC and Big Ten teams with Syracuse taking on Minnesota in the Pinstripe Bowl on Thursday December 29th.
The Orange won the last matchup against the Golden Gophers, 21-13, in the 2013 Texas Bowl, though Minnesota leads the all-time series, 3–2.
Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim, the nation’s fourth-leading rusher, will play his final game for the program with plenty of school records within reach. Syracuse will be without its star running back, Sean Tucker, who declared for the draft and opted out of his team’s bowl game.
