No. 12 Michigan is taking on Minnesota at the Big House in Ann Arbor in the 106th meeting between the two programs. The Wolverines are in search of their 27th straight win in a Big Ten conference game, a steak that dates back to November 2021.

Michigan has won 26 of the last 28 games against the Golden Gophers and 43 of the last 47. For Saturday's matchup, the Wolverines are as banged up as they've been in quite some time. Junior tight end Colston Loveland is fully healthy after missing last week's game, but Michigan has a handful of other starters listed as questionable.

The statuses of starters Will Johnson and Josaiah Stewart, along with key contributors Semaj Morgan and Greg Crippen were all in doubt, but all four players are in full uniform and participating in warm-ups.
