WATCH: Minnesota fans fly 'Row the Boat' banner in support of Tyler Trent
Though Purdue and Minnesota are battling it out on the field, the Golden Gophers faithful took time to show support for Tyler Trent.
As most fans know, Trent is a cancer fighter and fan of all things Purdue. His battle with cancer has been shared on ESPN’s College GameDay with many players and universities also sharing their support.
With the Boilermakers taking on the Gophers in Minnesota, some of the Minnesota fans took time to recognize Tyler and his family. A banner with the words “Row the Boat Trent Family” was flown in the stands, urging Tyler to keep up the fight against the disease.
Minnesota on BTN shared a brief look at the banner:
