The Gophers are 5-2 overall and 4-1 in Big Ten play after last week’s 13-10 win over then No. 15-ranked Iowa. Luke Drzewiecki nailed a 47-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Gophers over the Hawkeyes and win the Floyd of Rosedale trophy. Fans rushed onto the field to celebrate the win with the team.

The Hoosiers are 7-1 on the season, and 4-1 in Big Ten play. They needed overtime last Saturday to beat Michigan, 13-6. Two weeks ago, they had Ohio State beat with a late touchdown, but their receiver couldn’t get a foot down in the end zone on a fourth downplay, and the Buckeyes escaped.

College Gameday in Bloomington

Why you should care

Indiana is ranked No. 4 in the country, and the defending national champions remain in the College Football Playoff conversation. After the Gophers, their remaining regular season schedule is hosting USC, at Washington and hosting Purdue.

This Saturday’s match-up against the Gophers is big enough that ESPN’s College Gameday crew will be in Bloomington for its weekly show before kickoff. College Gameday now features Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Nick Saban, Desmond Howard and Pat McAfee.

The Gophers were last featured on College Gameday when they hosted Wisconsin to close out the 2019 regular season. With a chance to win the Big Ten West and go to the Big Ten title game, the Gophers lost to the Badgers 38-17. They went onto beat Auburn in the Outback Bowl and finished 11-2, their best season in 115 years.
