Gophers Gear Up For Football Season Opener

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) - On Thursday, the Gopher football team tries to start the season right at TCF Bank Stadium against UNLV.

The Rebels took the favored Gophers to three overtimes in last year's opener.

In the video above, WCCO's Mike Max shows how the team is gearing up.
