Predict the score! Bowl game edition!





Gophers = "To infinity and beyond!!!"
WV = Zilch, nada, nothing

Or the Gophers win 32 - 18. It'll be one of those two scores...
 




Glancing at raw statistics WVU isn’t great at running the ball. Their QB and pass attack seems to be average to above average. Their defense seems average to slightly above average.

We know a few things about their opponent. MN likes to hold and run the ball, but are average in terms of ypc in 2021. We have an average pass attack…maybe below average but probably partially self-inflicted (see next paragraph). The defense OTOH has been far above average bordering on top tier.

The wild cards are the dismissal of MSJr and the boost that could give the offense, and Ive heard inklings of significant hold outs and transfers at WVU. MN has a lot of guys that could opt out playing tomorrow. This bodes well for interest, motivation and morale.

Wild guess: MN 38 WVU 17
 












Gophers 38
Mountaineers 13
 


Gophers 41
WVU 10

Mafe crushes the QB for WVU in his final game.
 







Gophers 21 - WV 20. WV goes for 2 at end and Gophers defend to hold on for the win. My gut tells me this is going to be a close game because of the amount of time off and spent in Arizona. The odd environment of the baseball stadium and playing surface too.
