Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck met with the media on Monday ahead of Saturday’s game against the Michigan Wolverines. Fleck will look to bring the Little Brown Jug home to Minneapolis, but understands the historical and immediate challenges facing his team.

Historically, the Battle for the Little Brown Jug rivalry between the two schools has been less of a battle and more of a one-sided beating for the last 37 years. Since 1986, Michigan has posted a 25-2 record over the Golden Gophers, including a perfect 2-0 record against Minnesota with Fleck at the helm.

Immediately, Fleck wasn’t shy when discussing how good the Wolverines have looked five games into the season.
