The Gophers football team is set for its last home game of the season on Saturday when it hosts No. 4 Penn State for a 2:30 p.m. kickoff at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The Gophers will be looking for a bounce-back win after a disappointing loss to Rutgers on Nov.

Gophers women’s basketball standout Mara Braun rebroke a bone in her right foot — the same injury that sidelined her last season — and will miss an indeterminate amount of time, Gophers coach Dawn Plitzuweit told reporters on Friday.
