Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Michigan - Opponent Preview

Are you ready for the return of Big Ten football?

The No. 21-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers will open the 2020 season in a primetime matchup against the No. 18-ranked Michigan Wolverines at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will be televised on ABC.

It’s been three years since these two programs have shared a field, and the Little Brown Jug has languished in Ann Arbor since then. We have some catching up to do!

Can Michigan score on offense?

Offensive coordinator Josh Gattis, who previously served as the co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Alabama, was hired last season to develop a more dynamic Wolverine offense, pivoting from the traditional ground-and-pound approach that was their bread-and-butter not too long ago under Lloyd Carr but has perhaps become antiquated in today’s college football.
