ESPN’s College GameDay has enjoyed a two-week stay in the state of Utah over the course of the past two weeks, with both the hosting Cougars of BYU and Utes coming out on top in marquee matchups.
Now, fans in Bloomington are hoping the traveling show will maintain its good luck when it visits town this weekend.
ESPN announced Sunday that College GameDay will be venturing back East to take in the atmosphere for Indiana’s home date with Minnesota on Saturday.
And as the media outlet’s social post implied, the Gophers will be coming into hostile territory with a pair of marquee wins to their name and looking to add another upset to the list, although both of those occurred at home.
Indiana will be fresh off a narrow victory over Michigan that saw Curt Cignetti’s squad need overtime to outlast the struggling Wolverines, 13-6. Still, with Ohio State and UCLA’s quarterback situations in flux, the Hoosiers are the likely frontrunners in the Big Ten if they can stave off any challengers.
But Minnesota would love to spoil Indiana’s season, having already put major dents in the campaigns of both Michigan and Iowa thus far.
The Golden Gophers and Hoosiers will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET, with the game being broadcast by CBS.
