SAN DIEGO (AP) The Minnesota Golden Gophers are as ready as they can be to play a bowl game they considered skipping just 10 days ago.
As 10-point underdogs, the Gophers will have their hands full against Luke Falk and Washington State (8-4) in the Holiday Bowl at 4 p.m. PT Tuesday. The game will air live on 710 ESPN Seattle.
The Golden Gophers (8-4) are trying to regroup after backing down from their threat to skip this game if 10 teammates suspended after a sexual assault investigation weren’t reinstated. Their boycott lasted less than 36 hours, with university leadership never blinking.
