The Minnesota Golden Gophers are travelling to Columbus to take on the No. 1 college football team in the country, the Ohio State Buckeyes. It will be a daunting task for them, as the Buckeyes are the heavy favorites for this game, coming in undefeated at 4-0.
Both teams are also coming off big wins, with the Golden Gophers beating Rutgers in a close one, 31-28, while the Buckeyes just dominated Washington on the road with a final score of 24-6.
Julian Sayin has been phenomenal for the Buckeyes so far, throwing for 987 passing yards and 10 touchdowns with three interceptions. Meanwhile, the Golden Gophers have freshman quarterback Drake Lindsay, who has been leading Minnesota with 957 passing yards and seven touchdowns with two interceptions.
Both teams have momentum, which begs the question of who will be calling the game for NBC?
