The Golden Gophers visit the ‘Shoe trying to snap the Buckeyes streak of 13 straight in the series. That most recent Minny win was in Columbus during John Cooper’s final season in 2000.

Ohio State is getting a second home night game.
The Buckeyes will play back-to-back home games in primetime as their Oct. 4 game against Minnesota has been set for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff and will be televised by NBC, the Big Ten announced Monday.
It marks the first time Ohio State will have two regular-season home night games in a season since 2022, when the Buckeyes played back-to-back home night games against Toledo and Wisconsin.
Ohio State earned a 37-9 win over Ohio in its first night game of the season two Saturdays ago.
The Buckeyes have won 13 straight games against Minnesota dating back to 2001. Ohio State earned a 37-3 win over the Golden Gophers in the most recent meeting between the teams.
Minnesota holds a 2-1 record so far this season with wins over Buffalo (23-10) and Northwestern State (66-0) and a loss to Cal (27-14). The Golden Gophers open Big Ten play this week at home vs. Rutgers (Noon, Big Ten Network) before their trip to Columbus.
Both Ohio State and Minnesota had a bye this past weekend. Ohio State opens Big Ten play this week with a road game at Washington, which kicks off at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.

pretty sure there's a typo with the game time. That looks like this one supposed to start in the dark, but that's impossible.

Minny has played Buffalo, Cal and Rutgers to land on a ~50's ranked defense by Points Per Play.
Just a quick glance at the stats, they profile similar to UW's defense. Unfortunately for the Rowing PJ's, their offense profiles nothing like UW.
The Gophers offense is a high 80's, low '90s kind of monstrosity which shockingly enough, is better at passing than running. They are really, really bad at running the ball.
Not a good recipe for them coming into the 'Shoe on a Saturday night.

Minnesota gave up almost 400 yards to Rutgers this week. Offense should feast big time in this one

The Defense has far exceeded my expectations, given all the new starters. Patricia is the acquisition of the year, IMO.
Yes, I would like to see more carries for Jackson. He looks dynamic and it can only help open up the passing game more.
