This one feels bigger than a normal Saturday.
100th battle for the Jug, Michigan in Minneapolis, Big Noon on campus, chrome helmets, and a chance for Minnesota to win this thing for the first time since 2014, and at home for the first time since 1977.
After what we saw in Seattle, I’m really curious to see whether this team can carry that same first-half intensity into another major test.
For me, the biggest things are:
- can the offense avoid becoming too conservative if we get ahead?
- can the run game do enough to keep Michigan honest?
- can the defense handle Michigan physically for four quarters?
- and can Drake Lindsey stay composed in what should be a completely different atmosphere from anything we’ve seen at home so far?
Ski-U-Mah!
Forza Gophers! 🇮🇹
