The main 2015 Gophers football schedule (opponents and dates) has been out for awhile, but game times are quickly being filled in and the Gophers are excited to be playing several prime time night games in 2015 on their home turf at TCF Bank Stadium Minneapolis.

The Gopher football team will literally kick-off the season in prime time under the lights as the Gophers host TCU at TCF Bank Stadium on Thursday, September 3^rd at 8pm. ESPN will broadcast the game, but don’t sit home and watch it – buy a Gopher football ticket today and make plans to cheer for the Gophers to win their first game of the season under the lights at TCF Bank.

The University of Minnesota will get a chance to play another night game on Saturday, October 31^st – No doubt the University will hold a costume contest and dub the game something creative like the ghosts and goblins bowl. Don’t be spooked away, buy tickets for a super fun Halloween night game at TCF Bank Stadium. We want to keep that jug!

The 2015 Gopher football Spring Game is scheduled for Saturday, April 11th at 3pm at TCF Bank Stadium.  As always, the Gopher Spring Game is the conclusion of the 2015 Spring practices and is a fun way to see the Gopher football team on the TCF Bank Stadium turf for free. The gold vs. white scrimmage is always entertaining and a family friendly event with free give-aways, cheerleaders, face painting and more!

Gopher football running back David Cobb put up impressive numbers during the 2014 Gopher football season, setting Gophers football program records this past season for:

• Rushes (314)
• Rushing yards (1,626)

He also scored 13 touchdowns (tied for 3rd most in a season) and had 7 100-yard rushing games (tied for second most in a single season). David Cobbs’ impressive numbers, hard work ethic and versatility will serve him well in the NFL where he is expected to be Minnesota's first running back selected in the NFL Draft since 2006 when Laurence Maroney was chosen in the 1^st round by the New England Patriots.

We are proud to call David Cobb one of our own.

Gopher Nation salutes you David Cobb!

Our Gopher football team suffered a tough Citrus Bowl loss January 1^st, 2015 losing 17-33 to the Missouri Tigers. Minnesota quarterback Mitch Leidner threw for 258 yards and a touchdown. Minnesota receiver Maxx Williams had one of his greatest touchdowns of the season leaping over several Missouri defensemen to earn the points. But all of the Minnesota efforts fell short as Missouri had a few tricks up their sleeves on the kicking game and forced multiple turnovers throughout the game to land them on top.

Gopher fans should not be too ashamed though; the Gopher football program is showing great improvement and Gopher fans have much to look forward to next season!
