This is the first time since 1985 that a ranked Minnesota team hosts a top-10 opponent. That year, Lou Holtz's 20th-ranked Golden Gophers lost 23-19 to No. 9 Ohio State. It's the first time since 1961 that a ranked Minnesota team hosts a top-10 opponent in November. No. 5 Minnesota beat No. 7 Purdue 10-7 that year. And it's the first time since 1968 that a ranked Minnesota team hosts a top-5 team. No. 16 Minnesota lost 29-20 to No. 2 USC that year.
 

Wasn't TCU ranked #2 when they played at TCF?

Edit: Didn't read the "ranked" MN part. Gotcha.
 

1968 - No. 2 USC 29, at No. 16 Minnesota 20: O.J. Simpson slashed his way for 236 rushing yards and four touchdowns in the season opener for both teams.

First game I have a distinct memory of as a Gopher fan.

Slashed is a poor term to use in regards to OJ.
