per Saturday Tradition:

Esezi Otomewo, Minnesota

The Golden Gophers completely dominated West Virginia up front with Otomewo doing much of the damage.

Otomewo had 2 sacks among his 3 tackles, and Minnesota held the Mountaineers to 66 rushing yards in the 18-6 Guaranteed Rate Bowl win.

Tyler Nubin, Minnesota

Nubin was the face of a dominating performance from Minnesota’s secondary.

The safety finished the Guaranteed Rate Bowl with a team-high 8 tackles, including 7 solos and a sack. He also had a pass breakup as the Gophers limited West Virginia to 140 passing yards.

Minnesota

Sorry. We don’t have the all-22 from every bowl game to break this down position-by-position. This is a unit award.

And no B1G offensive line looked better than Minnesota’s this bowl season, which adds up when 4 of those Gophers will at the very least be in NFL training camps next fall.

Minnesota’s beefy front 5 paved the way for a pair of 100-yard rushers against a stout West Virginia defense. Ky Thomas rushed for 144 yards on 21 carries, while Mar’Keise Irving gained 129 on 19 attempts.

And to make matters more fun, right tackle Daniel Faalele got to score a touchdown as a fullback.


Go Gophers!!
