Minnesota (1-7) at No. 19 Michigan (6-2) 3:30 pm EDT

ANN ARBOR, Michigan (Ticker) -- Michigan and Minnesota both havelost to Football Championship Subdivision teams this season.Even with injuries to key players, the Wolverines are in muchbetter shape than the Golden Gophers.


Both Mike Hart and Chad Henne may sit out Saturday when the19th-ranked Wolverines host the woeful Gophers in a Big TenConference contest for the Little Brown Jug trophy.

Then the nation's leading rusher at 154 yards per game, Hartmissed Michigan's 27-17 victory at Illinois last weekend - theteam's sixth in a row - with a high right ankle sprain sufferedthe previous week vs. Purdue.


Henne suffered apparent right shoulder and wrist injuriesagainst the Fighting Illini. But after sitting out the thirdquarter, he replaced mistake-prone freshman backup Ryan Mallettto lead the Wolverines (6-2, 4-0 Big Ten) to victory.

Henne, who has thrown the most touchdowns in school history, hadhis right arm in a sling after the game.


Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, whose squad was stunned by FCS squadAppalachian State to begin the season, may rest his star duobecause the Wolverines are facing a struggling team in Minnesota(1-7, 0-4), which is coming off a 27-21 loss to lower-divisionNorth Dakota State.


Adam Weber completed just 10-of-22 passes for 162 yards, a TDand an interception for the Gophers, who surrendered 394 rushingyards - including 263 to Tyler Roehl.


Minnesota stunned Michigan here two years ago, 23-20, to claimthe Little Brown Jug.


But the Wolverines returned the favor with a 28-14 road triumphlast year for its 17th win in the series' last 18 meetings.
