This is the first game of the 2025 season for both teams. Last year, Buffalo was third in the MAC with a 6-2 conference record, going 9-4 overall and winning five in a row to end the season. Minnesota finished midpack in the Big Ten with a 5-4 conference record, going 8-5 overall.

Buffalo was picked fourth in the MAC preseason poll, but don’t be shocked if this team battles for the conference title as it returns 14 starters from last year’s team. The only big question will be at quarterback, where Ta’Quan Roberson comes in from the portal after stints at Penn State, UConn, and Kansas State.

Minnesota is always a tough team to play, even if the team’s ceiling isn’t quite as high as head coach P.J. Fleck believes it is. Keep an eye on Koi Perich, who plans to play both offensive and defensive snaps for the team in 2025.

This is an excellent college football matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
