Minnesota plans to play Huskers on Saturday

The Gophers returned to practice for the first time since a COVID-19 outbreak within it's program, according to ESPN.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Minnesota and Nebraska’s football game scheduled for Saturday appears to be all systems go.

The Gophers returned to practice for the first time on Sunday since a COVID-19 outbreak within it’s program, according to ESPN.

Minnesota coach PJ Fleck said the Gophers had only two positive tests within the last seven days. Minnesota has missed the last two games because of an outbreak.

The Gophers will still be without around 20 players because of the Big Ten’s 21-day sit-out rule when a player tests positive.

Nebraska and Minnesota are slated to kickoff at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday in Lincoln.
