On a very cold, October season opener, Michigan came to the University of Minnesota and will go home with the Little Brown Jug. It was a 24-49 win for the Wolverines that was total domination after the first 2 minutes.
Minnesota blocked a punt on Michigan’s opening possession, scored 2 plays later and jumped to a 7-0 lead with just over 2 minutes. From there it was all Wolverines in all three phases of the game.
Offensively, Michigan took advantage of short fields throughout the evening and then did whatever they wanted. In the first half they had 4 possessions (out of 7) that began inside Minnesota territory.
