Nebraska at Minnesota set for 11 am CT on ESPN2

The Nebraska Cornhuskers trip to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers next Saturday, Oct. 16 will kick off in the morning local time. The kickoff time was officially been announced today for 11 a.m. CT (noon ET) and the game will air on ESPN2.

The Huskers will be coming off a primetime matchup in Lincoln against the No. 8/9 Michigan Wolverines, while the Gophers will be coming off a bye week following a rain soaked 20-13 win at Purdue this past weekend. The Gophers are 3-2, including a 30-0 shutout win on the road at Colorado.

Nebraska will be returning to TCF Bank Stadium for the first time since 2019, a 34-7 Gophers win that saw a bizarre rant by Husker head coach Scott Frost about the lack of toughness exhibited during warm-ups by some players who chose to wear hoodies all while he himself was wearing a hoodie. Frost is 1-2 against Minnesota since becoming the head coach at Nebraska.

Since joining the Big Ten, Nebraska is 5-5 against Minnesota and is 2-3 in Minneapolis. The series against Minnesota is the oldest of any Big Ten foe for the Huskers. Minnesota leads the all-time series 34-25-2. The full slate of Big Ten games for Saturday, Sept. 25 is below.
