The Minnesota Golden Gophers (1-1) welcome the Nevada Wolf Pack (1-2) for a non-conference clash this Saturday.
While neither squad is projected to be a top-tier contender this season, bowl eligibility is already on the horizon, making this game significant for both sides. Minnesota cruised to victory at home last week, and, with this being their third consecutive home game, they’ll likely benefit from familiar surroundings.
On the other hand, the Wolf Pack were expected to have an unpredictable season, but Saturday offers them a golden chance for an upset that could turn heads.
