As the 2023 season winds itself down the Gophers have released the schedule for the 2024 season.
In a home-heavy start the Gophers will kick off their season Thursday, Aug. 29 hosting North Carolina. Minnesota lost to North Carolina in September by a score of 31-13. The Tar Heels will presumably be without quarterback Drake Maye in 2024 as he is expected to be a top-five pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Rhode Island Rams will visit Huntington Bank Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 7. They play in the Coastal Athletic Association in Division 1-AA and are 5-4 this season.
The final non-division game sees the Gophers host the Nevada Wolf Pack on Sept. 14. Nevada is 2-6 with a 2-2 record in the Mountain West Conference this season.
P.J. Fleck will then look to get his second consecutive win over Iowa when the Hawkeyes come to Minnesota on Sept. 21.
Minnesota’s first road game of the season will be a trip to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan on Sept. 28. The undefeated Wolverines are currently the third ranked team in the nation but have been entrenched in allegations of a cheating scandal for much of the season. Michigan beat the Gophers 52-10 in early October in Minnesota.
The Gophers will then get their first taste of two of the newest teams in the Big Ten when USC comes to town on Oct. 5 before the Gophers head to L.A. to take on UCLA Oct. 12.
Minnesota returns home for the second to last home game of the season when they host the Maryland Terrapins on Oct. 26, followed by road games Nov. 2 at Illinois and Nov. 9 at Rutgers.
The final home game of the season sees the Gophers take on Penn State on Nov. 23.
Minnesota will finish out the 2024 season with a trip to Madison to take on the Badgers on Nov. 30. Fleck has a 3-3 record against the Badgers since becoming the Gophers head coach.
The 2024 football schedule is HERE‼️
