The Gophers' game against Iowa on Oct. 8 will start at 11 a.m., and be televised on either ABC or ESPN2, the teams announced Monday.

That will be the third 11 a.m., kickoff of the season for the Gophers, and they have two more scheduled for that time slot (Oct. 22 against Rutgers, and Oct. 29 at Illinois).

Kickoff times for the Maryland game (Oct. 15), Purdue game (Nov. 5), Northwestern game (Nov. 19) and Wisconsin game (Nov. 26) have yet to be announced.
