Forget a regular Gatorade bath. The Minnesota Golden Gophers earned their head coach a mayonnaise bath with a 24-10 win over the Virginia Tech Hokies in Duke’s Mayo Bowl on Friday.
“I’m excited for this one,” Minnesota QB Max Brosmer said of head coach P.J. Fleck’s upcoming date with Duke’s Mayonnaise.
Brosmer completed 18 of 29 passes for 211 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the win. Minnesota gave up a turnover in the first quarter, but never looked back. The Golden Gophers scored 21 unanswered points on three consecutive drives before halftime and added a field goal in the second half for good measure.
Minnesota running back Darius Taylor had 113 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown, in addition to a 10-yard passing touchdown and four receptions for 17 yards. Virginia Tech was held to 223 total yards, including 74 rushing yards.
Here’s a recap of the Friday’s matchup between Minnesota and Virginia Tech:
