Northwestern is the Gophers most common homecoming opponent, with having played them 16 times for an 8-6-2 record against Northwestern on homecoming. Michigan is in second at 13 games. Ohio State is the only Homecoming opponent we haven't beaten is Ohio State in 4 attempts.

We've actually played nonconference opponents for homecoming 4 times, all in the 1950's. We won them all.

1951* UM 39, Nebraska 20
1955* UM 25, Southern Cal 19
1956* UM 9, Pittsburgh 6
1959* UM 20, Vanderbilt 6

Our longest streak of homecoming wins is 7, from 1951 to 1957. The second longest is 6 from 1931 to 1936. Our longest streak of homecoming losses is 4, 1982 to 1985 and again from 1994 to 1997.
