Gophers to have sixth consecutive 11 a.m. kickoff, at Nebraska; still alive in Big Ten West race

The Gophers can still claim the Big Ten West title with wins at Nebraska and Wisconsin.

November 17, 2014 at 1:59PM

The Gophers will have their sixth consecutive 11 a.m. kickoff next Saturday, when they play at Nebraska, in a game televised on ESPN.

The game time was announced late Saturday night. The Gophers (7-3, 4-2 Big Ten) are coming off a 31-24 loss to Ohio State, and Nebraska (8-2, 4-2) is coming off a 59-24 loss at Wisconsin.

Wisconsin (8-2, 5-1) sits alone atop the Big Ten West division and plays at Iowa this week. But if the Gophers win their next two games -- at Nebraska, then at Wisconsin -- they could still win the division title. The first tiebreaker is head-to-head records.
