Little Brown Jug is on the line
Local perspective:
Minnesota and Michigan will be competing for the Little Brown Jug, which the University of Minnesota says is one of the oldest rivalry trophies in college football, dating back to the 1900s. It's also Minnesota's annual "Stripe Out" game, where fans wear maroon or gold depending on which section they're sitting in.
A big test for the Gophers
The Gophers head into this game at 2-1 on the year, though their two wins have come against much weaker opponents. Michigan will mark Minnesota's first taste of Big Ten play this season.
