Oregon State at Minnesota
When: 6 p.m. Thursday (Big Ten Network)
Records: Oregon State 0-0, Minnesota 0-0
Golden Gophers entering this season: It's a new era in Minneapolis — sort of — with Tracy Claeys officially taking over for Jerry Kill after holding the interim role for much of 2015 when Kill retired mid-season due to health reasons. Minnesota went 5-7 in the regular season but got an invite to the Quick Lane Bowl because there were not enough 6-win teams in the FBS, topping Central Michigan 21-14.
