When the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the West Virginia Mountaineers take the field for the Guaranteed Rate Bowl on Dec. 28, it will be the first ever meeting between the two programs. I spoke with Jake Lantz (a.k.a. WVUNite) of The Smoking Musket to get the inside scoop on how West Virginia got here and what Gopher fans can expect from the Mountaineers.
The Daily Gopher: This is Year 3 of the Neal Brown era at West Virginia. How are Mountaineer fans feeling about his tenure and the future with Brown at the helm?
Jake Lantz: Fans are split.
