Minnesota vs. Georgia Tech

This type of game is about which team is more motivated to win a third-tier bowl game.

Paul Johnson’s is coaching in his last game. That’s definitely important for the Yellow Jackets.

P.J. Fleck has a young team looking to build momentum for the 2019 season. The Golden Gophers are better than their record, but they struggled against teams with quarterbacks that could run.

Taquon Marshall can definitely run finishing the regular season with 897 yards and 11 touchdowns. Will Minnesota contain him?

This will be a close game and surprisingly high-scoring. Georgia Tech has a back-breaking drive late in the fourth to seal the win 38-34.
