per Greder:
An unprecedented number of bowls (40) and inadequate amount of eligible teams (77 for 80 spots) prompted the NCAA to set Academic Progress Rates as the benchmark for the remaining three spots, which is why the Gophers (5-7) will play Central Michigan (7-5) in the Quick Lane Bowl on Monday in Detroit.
"You try to move forward and you think other things are about ready to happen in your life," Murray said. "You've just got to retreat and just come back and get back in the right mind-set to compete one more time with this beautiful Gopher team."
While NFL scouts will first dissect game tape to see how Murray and Boddy-Calhoun stacked up against their best opponents -- Texas Christian and Ohio State -- the Quick Lane Bowl will provide another showcase.
The nationally televised game is the only college football game scheduled for late Monday afternoon, and the Chippewas appear ready to challenge the Gophers secondary.
NFL scouts have frequented the Bierman-Nagurski Football Complex this season to watch the corners and other prospects, including senior linebacker De'Vondre Campbell, who also will play in the Shrine Game.
