Ohio State vs. Minnesota: How to watch, stream, plus key players

Here’s how to find and watch the game between Ohio State and Minnesota Saturday. #GoBucks

The Ohio State football team is ready to come to a high definition television or streaming device near you soon on Saturday, one week before the entire civilized world watches some Scarlet and Gray mesh with a little Maize and Blue next weekend.

But first things first, not taking care of business against Minnesota on Saturday can derail the highly anticipated matchup next weekend, so focus must remain sharp. The Golden Gophers are still looking to get one more win to become bowl-eligible, and doing in a shocking upset would be one whale of a way to get it done.

Regardless, Vegas doesn’t think much of Minnesota’s chances, and really, neither do many others outside of those that have “Minnesota Rouser” as a ring tone.

If you landed here, there’s a good chance you are looking for a way to find and watch the game on Saturday, and if so, we’ve got everything you need to pull up a chair, grab some beverages, and order up some pizza.

Kyle McCord, Quarterback – The OSU gunslinger had his best game of the 2023 campaign against Michigan State last week and that trend needs to continue. He should be able to do some significant damage against the Golden Gophers and continue to make us all think that there’s a good chance he can be a difference maker against Michigan next weekend.

Daniel Jackson, Wide Receiver – Minnesota’s most explosive playmaker comes from the receiver spot in the form of Daniel Jackson. The Gophers don’t sling it all over the field, but when they do, he’s the most likely to make big plays and move the chains.

45 receptions for 681 yards (15.1 avg.), 7 TDs

Daniel Jackson’s improbable, toe-dragging touchdown for Minnesota already a Catch of the Year candidate

A COLLEGE FOOTBALL CATCH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE IN AUGUST!!!

It’s not even technically September yet, and we’ve already got a Catch of the Year candidate for college football this season.

It’s all thanks to Minnesota wide receiver Daniel Jackson as his team trailed late in its home game against Nebraska on Thursday night.

On a 4th-and-10 play in the red zone late in the fourth quarter, Golden Gophers quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis fired a long ball to the corner of the end zone for Jackson, who improbably came up with the catch by properly dragging his toes right as he caught it at the barrier of the out-of-bounds line.

Once the referee signaled it a touchdown, it gave Jackson one of the definitive highlights of the college football season and sent Minnesota fans into a frenzy for the dramatic catch-and-score.

The touchdown helped lead to an eventual walk-off field goal that gave Minnesota the victory.

What a night for Golden Gophers fans!

Back to the catch: It’s a genuine shock that Jackson was able to catch this and somehow keep his feet in bounds. How did he do this?!

If you’re like us, you’re going to be rewatching and rewatching this incredible catch for the next few days, trying to figure out just how Jackson pulled this off. It’s truly a stunning highlight for the Minnesota wide receiver.
