Minnesota's players took the field for the 1961 Rose Bowl already carrying the label of national champions. They beat UCLA anyway.
That team stood at the tail end of a run built by Bernie Bierman, who had already delivered three straight titles between 1934 and 1936 and two more in 1940 and 1941.
Bruce Smith closed the 1941 championship season by winning the Heisman Trophy.
Seven national championships in total, the first from 1904, sit next to eighteen Big Ten Conference titles collected between 1900 and 1967.
Home games are now played at Huntington Bank Stadium , back on campus since 2009 after the years spent under the roof of the Metrodome, with 50,805 seats filled in maroon and gold in Minneapolis.
