Ky Thomas ran for 144 yards and a touchdown and Mar’Kiese Irving added 129 yards rushing to help Minnesota shut down the Mountaineers 18-6.
The Gophers held West Virginia to 206 total yards, leading to their fifth straight bowl game win and third under head coach P.J. Fleck, who signed a new seven-year deal with Minnesota in November.
"This is home,” said Fleck in a released statement that praised Director of Athletics Mark Coyle and U of M President Joan Gabel. “Our family loves it here and we are excited to continue this journey at the University of Minnesota. From day one, we talked about cultural sustainability and how important it is to building a successful football program and life program."
