MINNEAPOLIS Michigan uses historic rally to subdue Minnesota, 38-35

The Wolverines needed their biggest comeback in school history.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Garrett Rivas kicked a 33-yard field goal with 47 seconds left to cap Michigan's 31-point fourth quarter, and the 20th-ranked Wolverines rallied for a 38-35 victory over No. 17 Minnesota on Friday night.
The win was the Wolverines' 15th straight over the Golden Gophers in the 100th anniversary of the game for the Little Brown Jug.
Michigan trailed 28-7 at the start of the fourth quarter, but the Wolverines (5-2, 2-1 Big Ten) pulled within 35-28 on John Navarre's 52-yard TD pass to Braylon Edwards with 10:18 left in the game.
The comeback was the biggest in Michigan history, eclipsing the rally from 17 down for an 18-17 victory over Virginia in 1995.
Trailing 35-28, Michigan got the ball back at their own 40 with just over eight minutes to play. On second down, Navarre connected with Chris Perry for an 18-yard gain to the Minnesota 13. Two plays later, Perry ran it in for a 10-yard score to tie the game.
Minnesota (6-1, 2-1), which looked to be on its way to its first win over Michigan since 1986, went three-and-out on its next possession and Michigan got the ball back at their own 42.
Navarre converted on fourth down with a 1-yard plunge to the Gophers' 48. He also found Perry for a 10-yard gain on third down to the Minnesota 22. Navarre took a knee on third down after Tim Massaquoi recovered a fumble by Perry at the 14.
What came next
After Rivas' kick, Minnesota quarterback Asad Abdul-Khaliq had an 18-yard run to midfield negated by a clipping penalty. Two plays later Markus Curry intercepted Abdul-Khaliq at the Michigan 14 to seal the game.
Perry, who entered the game as the nation's fifth-leading rusher at 129 yards per game, was held to 85 on the ground. But he caught 11 passes for 122 yards and his 10-yard reception in the fourth quarter started the rally.
Just 1:24 after Perry's catch, Jacob Stewart picked off Abdul-Khaliq and ran it back for a 34-yard score to make it 28-21.
Navarre finished 33-of-47 for 353 yards with an interception and two touchdown passes. He also ran for a score in the third quarter.
Minnesota's collapse wasted a great effort on the ground and the most points the Gophers have scored against Michigan since 1937.
The Gophers outgained the Wolverines 424-94 on the ground.
Marion Barber III ran for 197 yards on 21 carries and set a school season record with his 14th rushing touchdown in the first quarter. Freshman Laurence Maroney ran for 81 yards and two scores.
, while Abdul-Khaliq finished with 106 yards on nine carries -- including a 52-yard TD in the fourth that made it 35-21.
