Gophers to face Bowling Green in Quick Lane Bowl

The Minnesota Golden Gophers football team is bringing their maroon and gold to Detroit.

The Gophers (5-7) learned Sunday they will face Bowling Green (7-5) in the Quick Lane Bowl on December 26 at Ford Field.


Minnesota's played in the Quick Lane Bowl twice, including in 2015 when they beat Central Michigan and then in 2018 when they defeated Georgia Tech. The 2015 win started what's now a streak of six-straight bowl wins, including four bowl game wins under head coach P.J. Fleck.

The Gophers' bowl selection comes thanks to their academic achievements and the lack of 6-win teams eligible to fill all the bowl slots.

Minnesota's Academic Progress Rating of 992 was the highest APR among five-win teams. It's the second time in a decade that the Gophers have been selected for a bowl game with fewer than six wins. The last time was the 2015 win over Central Michigan.

The Gophers will be without quarterback Athan Kaliamanis who announced on X (formerly Twitter) last week that he was entering the transfer portal.

The 2023 Quick Lane Bowl kicks off December 26 at 1 p.m.
