History: The Gophers have won seven straight bowl games since beating Missouri in the 2014 Citrus Bowl; that run is the longest streak in Big Ten history, and the longest active run in the nation. Fleck is a perfect 5-0 in bowls at Minnesota since 2018.

The Gophers took home their eighth straight bowl game victory on Friday against Virginia Tech. This time it was in the Duke's Mayo Bowl, which means P.J. Fleck received a full Duke's Mayo shower after the victory.

The Gophers scored three touchdowns in the second quarter, with Darius Taylor catching one TD pass and throwing one as well in their eighth consecutive bowl victory.
