Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Minnesota: How to watch, channel, streaming

COLUMBUS — Ohio State enters Saturday as the No. 1 team in the country. The Buckeyes have been completely dominant through the first four games of the season.

But Saturday will certainly be a unique challenge for this team as it returns from a West Coast game last weekend to play Minnesota in a primetime showdown. The Buckeyes have won 13 straight over the Gophers, but that doesn’t mean much for this contest this season.

Ohio State must be ready for a challenge.

“It’s a mindset,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. “It’s a mindset. We’re trying to prove every day somebody right and somebody wrong. And that has to be the way we show up every day. And if you emphasize that, you’re going to get it if guys believe in it. I think our guys do.”
