Oregon State will open their 2016 football season Thursday evening Sept. 1 in Minneapolis, MN, against Minnesota.
We now know when, with today's tv schedule announcement that the Beavers and Gophers will kickoff at TFC Bank Stadium just after 8 PM CDT, which will be a 6 PM PDT tv start time. The game will be on the B1G Ten network.
This makes 2 known kickoff times, for the first 2 games, with the home opener 9 days later against Idaho State set for 2 PM PDT.
The evening start is favorable, as lingering midwest heat and humidity will be relenting at that point, and for those making the trip, its late enough in the day to allow easier travel logistics.
