sportsOct 3, 202633565

Minnesota beat Michigan 20-14 on Saturday to reclaim the Little Brown Jug, handing Michigan its first loss to the Golden Gophers since 2014 and marking Michigan's first loss in Minneapolis since 1977. Michigan fell to 3-2 overall and 0-2 in Big Ten play. Minnesota opened with a seven-play, 80-yard drive capped by a two-yard touchdown from Darius Taylor. Michigan answered with a five-yard touchdown by Jordan Marshall, then Nathaniel Staehling returned an interception 79 yards for a touchdown to put Michigan up 14-7 at halftime. In the second half Michigan committed miscues that swung field position, including a muffed punt by Andrew Marsh that returned possession to Minnesota in the red zone, and Minnesota converted turnovers and red-zone chances into the go-ahead points. Cornerback Smith Snowden recorded an earlier interception for Michigan, but Minnesota’s late takeaways and special teams miscues by Michigan decided the game and sent the Jug back to Minneapolis.

8 pounds. Almost clean now. Watching the gophers throw a pick-6 against Michigan. All is as it should be (but not how I’d like).

Given you haven't checked your US Senate account for 4 days, I have a question: Did *anyone* in Congress vet Elon Musk to have this much control on decisions over the Pentagon. Surely Congress noticed close ties of Elon Musk to Putin, Lavrov & other Genocidal Mercenaries. bsky.app/profile/star...

#Minnesota is objectively a much better state than #Michigan in every way right now. I’ll take the L. Reluctantly.

Nothing beats the unbridled joy & chaos of a team running after a rivalry trophy — especially one as old and genuine as the Little Brown Jug.

If the Gophers win the Little Brown Jug, PJ Fleck is going to fill it with blood. Whose blood? You’ll have to find out :)

Drake Lindsey threw the go-ahead touchdown pass to Darius Taylor early in the fourth quarter after two costly first-half interceptions, and Minnesota’s defense overwhelmed quarterback Bryce Underwood to beat Michigan 20-14 for the first time since 2014.

If you love the Little Brown Jug, please remind the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota leaders that pottery (and all arts and humanities!) play an important role in campus and should be invested in! Art classes for all!

The #Gophers took possession of the Little Brown Jug for the first time in Minneapolis since 1977, winning 20-14 over Michigan on Saturday. My thoughts and takeaways from a special day in Dinkytown, as the fans and team did their part. 247sports.com/college/minn...

The Gophers rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit and forced three turnovers in a three-point victory that reclaimed the Little Brown Jug and gave P.J. Fleck his 100th career win.
