(Minneapolis, MN) — The Golden Gopher football team will practice virtually today while it awaits the results of COVID-19 testing of its players. The hope is to resume in-person practice tomorrow as the team gets ready to play at Wisconsin on Saturday. The decision was made to go virtual after an unspecified number of players tested positive on Monday, but test results waiting to confirm those cases had not been returned. Head coach P-J Fleck said during his weekly Monday briefing any decision on whether to play Saturday’s game would be made by medical professionals in conjunction with the school’s administration and the Big Ten Conference. Those comments came prior to the program’s Monday night announcement about practice going virtual for Tuesday. Saturday’s game is scheduled for a 1 P-M kickoff in Madison.
