The Minnesota Gophers are set to face Mississippi State at home this Saturday, aiming to end a three-game non-conference losing streak against Power 4 opponents. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. at Huntington Bank Stadium, with the game broadcast on CBS and streaming via Paramount+. Minnesota enters the contest 1-0 after a season-opening victory against an FCS opponent.
