US EditionMinnesota Looks to Stretch Bowl Winning Streak to 9 when It Faces New Mexico in Rate Bowl
Minnesota seeks a ninth straight bowl win, the longest active streak in FBS and fourth longest ever, against a New Mexico team on a six-game winning streak.
- On Friday, the Minnesota Golden Gophers aim to extend their bowl winning streak beyond eight games in the Rate Bowl, with P.J. Fleck leading the team and holding a 6-0 bowl record.
- New Mexico coach Jason Eck leads the Lobos after three coaches and eight seasons since the 2016 New Mexico Bowl, with a six-game winning streak in his first season.
- Opting out has become common among players, but Minnesota quarterback Drake Lindsey stayed committed, delivering a solid debut and finishing strong over the final six games.
- A win would extend Minnesota Golden Gophers' long bowl run, lengthening the Football Bowl Subdivision's longest active streak while players and coaches emphasize bowl pride.
- The bowl system is now widely seen as second-tier after the 12-team College Football Playoff, yet New Mexico Lobos set a school record for total offense this season, showing on-field improvement.
