The Big 10 has finalized the 2015 football schedule.
The Gophers open up conference play with two road games: At Northwestern and at Purdue.
The first home game is against Nebraska on October 17.
Other home games are against Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. The other road games are against Ohio State and Iowa.
Does all that seem familiar to the 2014 schedule, released a few weeks ago?

Sept. 3 vs. TCU
Sept. 12 at Colorado State
