The Minnesota Golden Gophers will clash with the Illinois Fighting Illini at Memorial Stadium this Saturday afternoon for some NCAAF action. The Minnesota Golden Gophers are ninth in the Big Ten with a 3-2 conference score, and 5-3 overall.
Gophers primary punt and kick returner Quentin Redding was ruled out for the season before Minnesota's Week 3 contest against Nevada. The Gophers will now be tasked with replacing more than 50 career returns.
