Michigan leads the all-time series 76-25-3. The Wolverines have won 42 of the the last 46 matchups. The Gophers haven't won at home since 1977.

“There’s a few penalties that weren’t called maybe both ways, but officials were letting the guys play,” Harbaugh said.Gophers defensive end Danny Striggow, who leads the team and is tied for the Big Ten lead with three sacks, has an older brother, Bobby, who’s a wrestler for Michigan. Another older brother, Jackson, wrestled for the Wolverines, too.
