We are less than 24 hours from a big showdown between Minnesota and Penn State. Excitement continues to build and TCF Bank Stadium is sold-out for the first time since 2015. University officials are encouraging fans to arrive early and be ready for player introductions. In recent years, there hasn't been this type of hype for a Gopher football game.

Both Penn State and Minnesota had an extra week to prepare for the undefeated showdown. It is the second time in 40 years that two 8-0 Big Ten teams will meet at this point in the season. I'm anxious to see how each team schemes specific strengths and weaknesses. I produced several breakdowns and features ahead of this historic showdown. I've also appeared on numerous radio and YouTube channels this week. Be sure to follow me on Twitter (@DanielHouseNFL) for complete pregame coverage.

Here is a complete list of preview content:

In this breakdown, I analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of Penn State. How could both teams scheme each other? I went through film and put together this piece: https://rb.gy/9ee603

In this early week preview podcast on Skor North, I mentioned a few things I'll be watching for during the game. Which matchups do you need to watch closely?: http://bit.ly/2N8I2Ly

Most recently, I joined Mark Rogers' college football show to discuss the matchup. We covered everything, including how Minnesota can pull off a victory:

On Monday, I joined NMD TV's YouTube channel to talk about Minnesota's success and ways each team may approach the game:
