Last Saturday, Minnesota beat Colorado State to begin the season with a perfect 3-0 record. For perspective, the last season with a perfect non-conference start was 2013. The Gophers ultimately went 8-5 that season and ran off four straight wins in the Big Ten, including a 24-10 win over Penn State.
The Victory Bell is still in Minnesota’s trophy case, and as much as Gopher fans may not care about this particular trophy, we have no desire to give it back either.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 PM CDT and the game will air live on BTN.
