per Souhan:
For the many veterans on the team, including the 12th-year seniors on the offensive line, this bowl game is what Minnesotans might call a pretty good deal, then. It's a victory lap for a run of teams that made history in 2019 and rallied to make the 2021 season a success.
This game could also be more than that — something much more promising. This game could be the first step to building another big winner in 2022, building another team that could accomplish what the 2019 team did, and become a national story.
Fleck did the right thing in bringing Ciarrocca back. Next year, he will have plenty of skill-position talent. He will be in his sixth season at Minnesota, meaning his recruiting should be paying off, if his recruits are as good as advertised. So Tuesday's game could be more preview than review.
The Gophers seniors should enjoy their time in Arizona this week. Those returning for next season could use today to hint at something even better on tap for 2022.
Go Gophers!!

Gophers bowl could be the first step toward something bigger in 2022
Coach P.J. Fleck has some firepower returning for next season, including the coordinator who had the offense humming in 2019.
