Look-ahead: Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles is out for a second straight week with Saturday’s game vs. Ohio State. The Wildcats come to Minneapolis to play #Gophers next week.

Update: #Gophers list a few players as questionable for Saturday at Penn State: CB John Nestor, DTs Riley Sunram, Theo Randle, TEs Pierce Walsh, Julian Johnson, LB Mason Carrier.

Context: DT Jaylin Hicks had season-ending injury vs. UCLA; more interior guys might be out, too.

Nugget: #Gophers defensive end Anthony Smith of Shippensburg, Pa., didn’t play the last time the U traveled to Penn State in 2022. For Saturday, he estimated he'll have a whopping 150 tickets for family and friends. “Got a lot for Minnesota fans from Pennsylvania," he said.

Note: #MNUFC goalkeeper Kayne Rizvanovich, 19, has been training with #USMNT at the national training center in Georgia this week. A huge opportunity for #Loons' top prospect, who's become a regular with the U20 side.
