The Minnesota Golden Gophers will wrap up their non-conference schedule with two home games against teams from the Mid-American Conference, with the first coming on Saturday against Kent State.
Both teams are coming off a win last Saturday, with Minnesota beating Colorado State in overtime and Kent State dominating Delaware State.

The Gophers are dealing with a lot of injuries, with guard Jon Christenson (right knee) and safety Damarius Travis (hamstring) among those that will miss Saturday’s game. Wide receiver KJ Maye suffered a bruised lung late in last week’s win over Colorado State, but the Gophers’ second-leading receiver (10 receptions for 161 yards, with two touchdowns) is expected to play against Kent State.
