Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox college sports team season Шаблон:1967 Big Ten Conference football standings The 1967 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team represented the University of Minnesota in the 1967 Big Ten Conference football season. In their 14th year under head coach Murray Warmath, the Golden Gophers compiled an 8–2 record and outscored their opponents by a combined total of 163 to 106.[1] The Gophers shared the Big Ten title, the most recent conference title for the University of Minnesota football team.

The Gophers did not receive the conference's bid to the Rose Bowl despite their 33-7 victory vs. Indiana. Minnesota, Indiana and Purdue finished in a three-way tie for first place, and each went 1-1 against the other two. The Boilermakers were ineligible since they played in Pasadena the previous year. This invoked the next tiebreaker, which favored the team which had gone the longest since its most recent Rose Bowl trip. Indiana had never been, while Minnesota last appeared in 1962.

Back Tom Sakal received the team's Most Valuable Player award. End Bob Stein was named an All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, Associated Press, United Press International and Football Writers Association of America. Tackle John Williams, end Bob Stein, tackle McKinley Boston and back Tom Sakal were named All-Big Ten first team. Tight end Charles Sanders and offensive guard Ed Duren were named All-Big Ten second team. Offensive lineman Ezell Jones, defensive lineman Ron Kamzelski, defensive lineman Dave Nixon and defensive lineman Bob Stein were named Academic All-Big Ten.[2]

Total attendance at six home games was 287,798, an average of 47,966 per game. The largest crowd was against Michigan State.[3]
