Golden Gophers erase halftime deficit with 13 unanswered points as three second-half turnovers doom Wolverines in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS | Michigan carried a seven-point lead and the momentum of two interceptions into halftime Saturday. By the end of the 100th battle for the Little Brown Jug, Minnesota had turned both around.
The Golden Gophers scored 13 unanswered points in the second half and capitalized on three Michigan turnovers to defeat the Wolverines 20-14 at Huntington Bank Stadium.
Michigan (3-2) led 14-7 at halftime after Nathaniel Staehling returned an interception 79 yards for a touchdown, but the Wolverines were shut out over the final two quarters and finished with fewer than 200 yards of offense.
Minnesota improved to 4-1 by controlling possession after halftime and taking advantage of a Michigan offense that struggled to sustain drives.
The Wolverines' defense created opportunities early.
