The New Years’ day bowls should be filled with a lot of exciting matchups and this one is no different.
In this game the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Auburn Tigers face off in the Outback Bowl. This is the first meeting ever between the two teams.

The Golden Gophers offense has been talked a lot about this season and for good reason, because there is talent all over the field.
At quarterback the Golden Gophers are led by Tanner Morgan who has thrown for 2,975 yards, 28 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
On the season the Golden Gophers are averaging 34.3 points per game and against a good defense they are going to have their hands full.
In this game it’s going to be about Morgan making the right decisions. If Morgan is turning the ball over, the Golden Gophers are going to have issues.
On the defensive side the Gophers have been up and down this year and are giving up 22.8 points per game. The defense needs to try and create a few turnovers.
Auburn Tigers
On the other side of this matchup is the Auburn Tigers who have been up and down this season but they come into this game having won three of the last four games. The one loss during that stretch was by seven points to the Georgia Bulldogs.

Coming into this game the Tigers are coming off their biggest win of the season. The defense struggled, but the offense was elite and that led to a three point victory.
At quarterback the Tigers are led by Bo Nix who is a freshman so there have been a lot of ups and a lot of downs this season. Overall Nix has thrown for 2,366 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
On the defensive side the Tigers have been elite giving up only 18.6 yards per game and that defense is going to need to be good in this game.
If the defense is good that will take the pressure off of Nix, and that should be enough to come away with a victory.
