Michigan and Minnesota will play for the Little Brown Jug on Saturday, October 3, 2026, marking the 100th time the two programs have competed for the historic trophy.

Ryan Burns of the Gopher Gazette on 247Sports joins the show to give us an inside look at PJ Fleck's program and offers his predictions for the game.
