The No. 12 Michigan Wolverines welcome in Minnesota to the Big House this afternoon in what projects as more of a defensive battle.
Michigan, fresh off a thrilling 27-24 victory over USC, aims to go 2-0 in conference play. Meanwhile, the Golden Gophers are eager to rebound from a tough 31-14 defeat at the hands of Iowa.
The Wolverines have dominated Minnesota as of late, securing the Little Brown Jug in each of the last four matchups, including a commanding 52-10 victory in Minneapolis last year. Kirk Campbell and company will undoubtedly aim to exploit the Gophers’ run defense, which struggled mightily against Iowa in Week 3.
