After a disappointing loss to Iowa, one that knocked Michigan football out of the AP Top 25, the Wolverines will hit the road for the first time this season.
Some might call this a trap game. I wouldn't. This is just another stern test. Minnesota will be fired up for this matchup and is fresh off a 27-24 road win over Washington. The Gophers are 3-1, just like the Wolverines, with a loss to a ranked SEC opponent.
Minnesota is probably sitting better, at least in terms of the season, than Michigan, at least with a 1-0 record in the Big Ten. You'd rather lose outside of the Big Ten than in conference play.
It's a huge opportunity for the Gophers to earn their way into the Top 25. Michigan might not do that with a win, but if the Wolverines want to make any sort of playoff push, they basically need to win seven of the last eight games.
That includes this game against Minnesota. Here's everything for you need for the Wolverines vs. Gophers.
