As college football bowl season winds down, Minnesota vs Auburn kicks off an action-packed New Year’s Day with the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The Golden Gophers and Tigers go head-to-head in the first of four games that feature ranked vs. ranked teams.
Minnesota enters the game as the No. 18 team in the country, while Auburn — which is favored by a touchdown — sits at No. 12.
The Gophers will be rolling with a new offensive coordinator in wide receivers coach Matt Simon, who was named interim OC after Kirk Ciarrocca left for Penn State. Auburn, meanwhile, also has a new offensive coordinator in former Arkansas head coach Chad Morris, but Tigers head coach Gus Malzahn will still call the plays for the bowl game.
“In my opinion, he’s one of the best offensive guys out there,” Malzahn said, via ESPN.com. “Our plan is for the bowl I’m still going to call the plays. Really he is still kind of getting acclimated, getting used to our players, and how we operate and all that.”
