Next Saturday's game between the Gophers and Ohio State at TCF Bank Stadium will start at 11 a.m. -- making it five consecutive 11 a.m., kickoffs for Minnesota.
The Gophers are 8-2 in their past 10 games in that time slot, including 3-1 in this stretch against Northwestern, Purdue, Illinois and Iowa.
The Ohio State game will be televised on ABC. The Buckeyes (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten) are coming off a huge 49-37 win over Michigan State, which all but ensured a Big Ten East title. The Gophers (7-2, 4-1) are tied atop the Big Ten West with Nebraska and Wisconsin, two teams that will meet next Saturday in Madison.
