Minnesota’s use of misdirection and split zone flow played a major role in Saturday’s 20-14 win over Michigan.
In this week’s film room, I explained how the #Gophers built off of rushing concepts throughout the game: gophersguru.com/2026/10/05/h...
What #Gophers PJ Fleck said today, including:
- The trends he's learning about his defense
- Why he's not sweating the downfield passing game
- Facing old friends in RB Fame Ijeboi and DC Kevin Kane for Purdue
In all three phases, the #Gophers '26 transfer portal class has played a massive part in the 4-1 start.
PJ Fleck dives into their impact.
"It's about talent acquisition that fits and molds with the complementary style of the players you already have."
#Gophers stick at third in the USCHO Women's poll.
St. Cloud State moves up to 8th. The Huskies have back-to-back sweeps over ranked teams.
Still buzzing from the #Gophers win yesterday.
Can’t believe we’ve become a fanbase that can reliably pull of stripeouts. I spent years adamant that our stubborn Olds would never do it. Thrilled to have been proven wrong. #Gophers

"The experience was amazing."
"That's my favorite game I have ever been at."
The #Gophers hosted a bevy of recruits for their win over Michigan, and recruit reactions are rolling in.
The first time the #Gophers beat Michigan at home since 1977—the year I was born! We never gave up. We basically dominated all phases of the game statistically, and even when some things went wrong, we just kept fighting. Proud of my team, my state, and the University of #Minnesota. #SkiUMah! 〽️🏈

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.
The Little Brown Jug is returning to Minneapolis. In my postgame notebook, I explained why split zone flow & misdirection usage were key in this game.
