Opening the season at home, against the reigning B1G Champions is a big deal.
When Minnesota welcomes Ohio State to Huntington Bank Stadium on Thursday night, the excitement is on many levels. First off, it’s the season opener. Add to that bringing back the fans to the stands after the fan-less 2020 season and the Gophers looking to put together a bounce-back season and there is much to be excited about.
To add to the buzz, the Gophers put out a hype video prior to the game to get everyone in the right place.

Forget for a minute that No 4 Ohio State hasn’t lost a Big Ten game since 2018, and they also haven’t lost to the Gophers in Minnesota in four decades.
But hey, who cares, fans are back and 2020 is finally behind us. Kickoff is set for 7:00PM on FOX.
