However, one of Thursday’s games, North Carolina at Minnesota, is delayed due to inclement weather in Minneapolis. The game initially had an 8 p.m. ET kickoff, but the Tar Heels and Gophers will kick off their respective seasons at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
Also in the state, NC State football’s 2024 season opener vs. Western Carolina has also been delayed due to lightning.
The only game Thursday between “Power Four” teams presents a chance for Minnesota to bounce back from a 31-13 loss to UNC last season. However, quarterback Drake Maye has moved on from the Tar Heels, and was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
