per Joe:

Now, the Gophers have a chance to let the relic collect some extra Minnesota dust. A victory would be an exclamation point on what’s already scheduled to be a big recruiting weekend for the Gophers.

They’ll have 10 high school seniors making their official visits to campus this weekend, which starts Friday with a ceremonial groundbreaking for the $166 million Athletes Village project. Throw in the 6 p.m. Saturday kickoff on ESPN, with all the Halloween revelry, and this could be quite a showcase.

But the Gophers (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten) must play far better than they did when last seen, in their 48-25 home loss to Nebraska on Oct. 17.

No. 15 Michigan (5-2, 2-1) had a bye last week, just like the Gophers, so coach Jim Harbaugh had extra time to help the Wolverines get over their devastating loss to Michigan State on a muffed punt.
