No. 8 Oregon's unofficial tour through the old Big Ten West continues on Friday when the Ducks host Minnesota for a third straight game against a foe from the upper midwest. The Gophers (6-3, 4-2 Big Ten) enter refreshed from a bye to take on the Ducks (8-1, 5-1), who needed late heroics to survive for an 18-16 win at Iowa last week.

Voters in Minnesota went to the polls Tuesday in the 2025 election. Minneapolis and St. Paul both held contested races for mayor, while voters in dozens of school districts decided what will happen to requests to raise taxes to help pay for improvements to schools and programs.
