The Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-4) closed out the 2022 season with a 28-20 win over the Syracuse Orange (7-6) in the Pinstripe Bowl on Thursday.
The Elite
Mohamed Ibrahim. The Gophers’ All-American running back only needed two quarters to finish rewriting the school’s record books. By halftime, Mohamed Ibrahim had laid claim to the program’s single-season rushing yards and rushing touchdowns records, in addition to becoming Minnesota’s all-time leading rusher. After the game, Tanner Morgan was campaigning for Ibrahim’s number to be retired, and I second that motion. He is one of the greatest running backs to ever wear the maroon and gold, and I’m grateful for everything he has done for this program.
