Hey all, big game coming up Saturday against one of the best teams in the country. Certainly not impossible to get a victory, though, as this list shows against top 15 teams:
  • 1977 defeated No. 1 Michigan, 16-0
  • 1979 defeated No. 12 Purdue, 31-14
  • 1981 defeated No. 6 Iowa, 12-10
  • 1986 defeated No. 2 Michigan, 20-17
  • 1990 defeated No. 13 Iowa, 31-24
  • 1993 defeated No. 15 Wisconsin, 28-21
  • 1999 defeated No. 2 Penn State, 24-23
  • 2000 defeated No. 6 Ohio State, 29-17
  • 2005 defeated No. 11 Purdue, 42-35
  • 2019 defeated No. 4 Penn State, 31-26
  • 2021 defeated No. 14 Wisconsin, 23-13
Hoping we can add another result to the list this weekend. Here's a couple highlight videos from past upsets. Feel free to share more:


 


Realizing I can only count on 1 hand the number of upsets I've witnessed as a Gopher fan.
 




‘99 season was painfully close to being an extraordinary season: one score home losses to Purdue; Ohio State & Wisconsin. In the Badger game, Tyrone Carter is dinged up and misses a series and they drive the field for a touchdown. In overtime, we’re called for holding on a running play and we end up with a naught possession.
