per BTN:
Trick or treat! This is an abbreviated schedule with just five games on the slate.
Minnesota beat Michigan for the Little Brown Jug last season for the first time since 2005 and just the fourth time since 1967. The last time the Gophers won two in a row vs. the Wolverines? It was when Minnesota won four meetings in succession from 1960-63.
Game of the week: Michigan probably will be the underdog when it visits Minnesota for a prime-time battle for the iconic Little Brown Jug. The Golden Gophers won last year in Ann Arbor, 30-14, in a game that may have been the ultimate undoing of Brady Hoke and A.D. Dave Brandon with the inexplicable handling of injured QB Shane Morris. Minnesota will be good—maybe the best team in the West. But if the Wolverines are playing well, especially on offense, they may be able to prevail in Jim Harbaugh’s first game vs. the Gophers.
Best head coach matchup: It has to be Jim Harbaugh vs. Jerry Kill. Harbaugh brings an NFL cachet to the sideline along with plenty of glitz in a career that has seen him win big at the highest levels of the sport in the Pac-12 and NFL before returning to his alma mater. Kill is the quintessential working-class coach who worked his way up the back roads of the sport with stops in places like Saginaw Valley State and Emporia State. Harbaugh and Kill are two of the Big Ten’s best.
