The Battle for the Little Brown Jug has been played 103 times dating back to 1892, and historically the Wolverines have dominated the series posting a 75-25-3 record. Michigan has held on to the trophy for nearly five years since they won it back on Oct. 31, 2015, following a 29-26 win where they stuffed the Gophers on the goal line on back-to-back plays to seal the victory.
The most recent contest between the two programs was back in 2017 when Jim Harbaugh and Michigan topped the Gophers 33-10 in P.J. Fleck’s first year with the Minnesota football program.
