Don't look now, but the Big Ten Coach of the Year is headed to Ohio Stadium to battle Ohio State under the lights this fall.

According to Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Jerry Kill is set to lead his Minnesota Golden Gophers into the Horseshoe to take on the Buckeyes in primetime Nov. 7.

You might remember the last time these two met, a blustery, snow covered day in mid-November 2014, when J.T. Barrett ran all over Minneapolis to lead the Buckeyes to a 31-24 victory in the coldest game ever at TCF Bank Stadium.

The Buckeyes already know they're paying a visit to Virginia Tech on Labor Day Night Sept. 7, and Christensen's report assures yet another affair under the lights for the team as it pushes forward in its Big Ten and national title defense.

With other schools like Penn State and Michigan State on the slate as well, expect more announcements for night games in the future. The Buckeyes played eight night games in 2014, if you include the postseason.

Ohio State did not immediately respond to request for comment.
