Minnesota thrives in an era of bowl opt-outs, even when a national championship is out of reach. These Golden Gophers dig the postseason. Jalen Smith scored his second touchdown on a diving 12-yard catch in the first overtime and Minnesota extended its p ostseason winning streak to nine games with a 20-17 win over New Mexico in the Rate Bowl on Friday.
