Michigan hosts Minnesota on Sunday afternoon (1:00 p.m., BTN) in a game it needs to put in the win column. Losing road games is going to happen to most teams in the league, but allowing a tough stretch away from home — Michigan has now lost three of four, all on the road — to spiral into a disappointing home loss can be tough to overcome.

The Golden Gophers are 1-6 in league games but shocked Ohio State in Columbus for that lone victory last week.
