Their lone loss came vs Toldeo when they lost 32-31 at home.
Connor Bazelak led the Falcons offense, throwing for 1,714 yards, eleven touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

Minnesota had a tough season, going 5-7, but still earned an opportunity at a bowl game.
The Gophers, who have had success with head coach PJ Fleck, just could not find a rhythm this season.
Minnesota lost their final four games.
The Gophers will be without their starting quarterback, Athan Kaliakmanis, who is in the transfer portal.
The Gophers will then go to senior Cole Kramer. Kramer has just one attempt this year, which was an interception.
Darius Taylor leads the Gophers rushing attack; Taylor has dashed for 591 yards and four touchdowns.
Senior Daniel Jackson has been the top option in the passing game. Jackson has racked up 831 yards and five touchdowns.

Let’s jump into my best bet.
Bowling Green vs. Minnesota Pick
Bowling Green is being undervalued in this spot today.
This will be a low-scoring rock fight kind of game, favoring the dog as possessions and points will be at a premium.
Minnesota will play a quarterback with limited experience, leading to trouble scoring.
Bowling Green brings most of their roster into this game and has been playing great football over the last six weeks.
