The Gophers, who are on a bye week, learned Monday that the kickoff in their Big Ten opener against Maryland will be at 11 a.m. on Sept. 30 at TCF Bank Stadium.

Minnesota (3-0) will have four different start times in its first four games — ranging from 11 a.m. vs. the Terrapins to 9 p.m. in the team's only road game so far, at Oregon State.

Fox Sports One will televise Gophers-Maryland.

After Maryland, the start times for the remaining eight games are to be determined, although the window for the homecoming game — Oct. 21 vs. Illinois — is small. It is listed as 2:30 or 3 p.m.
