Gophers' Casey O'Brien set to have lung procedure Wednesday

Gophers holder Casey O'Brien will have surgery Wednesday after a 3-month scan earlier this week revealed a small spot on one of his lungs. O'Brien is a four-time cancer survivor and saw his first game action earlier this season at Rutgers.

After Showdown Saturday, what's next for the Gophers?

If the Gophers beat the Badgers on Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium, Minnesota heads to Indianapolis to face Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship. The Gophers also likely lock up, at minimum, a bid to the Rose Bowl.
