The Minnesota Golden Gophers open up Big Ten conference play with a trip to West Lafayette for what is almost certain to be another too-close-for-comfort game.

2019 Record: 1-2 (0-0, Big Ten West)
The results thus far have been inconclusive at best, but the early goings have certainly not been kind to Purdue. The Boilermakers dropped their season opener against Nevada, surrendering a 24-7 halftime lead as the Wolf Pack outscored them 27-7 in the second half for a last-second 34-31 victory. Returning home to West Lafayette, Purdue proceeded to throttle Vanderbilt 42-24, but in the process lost quarterback Elijah Sindelar to a concussion.
