Minnesota will play Western Illinois in 2022, putting a third FCS opponent on the schedule in a four-year span.
The Gophers announced they’ve added the Leathernecks for Sept. 10, 2022, giving them five straight home games to start the slate for the first time since 1933.
Minnesota last played an FCS team in 2016. The Gophers will open this season against South Dakota State and host Tennessee Tech in 2020.
