Wisconsin vs Minnesota Preview
As is tradition with the Wisconsin-Minnesota rivalry, the winner will take home Paul Bunyan’s Axe.
Wisconsin is coming off a 24-17 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers last week. The Badgers came from behind to win in overtime. Wisconsin quarterback Tanner Mordecai went 18-28 for 160 yards and a touchdown, also rushing for 51 yards.
Badgers’ star running back Braelon Allen had his usual effective performance, netting 62 yards and two rushing TDs. Wisconsin’s defense did just enough, forcing a turnover and shutting Nebraska’s offense out in overtime.
The Badgers have been doing it with defense so far this season. Wisconsin has been scoring 22.4 points per game, while surrendering 19.4 points per contest.
On the other side, the Golden Gophers are fresh from a 37-3 loss to the No. 2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on November 18. Minnesota QB Athan Kaliakmanis went 11-19 for 89 yards and an interception in the loss. The Gophers couldn’t do much of anything against the Buckeyes’ defense, gaining just 89 yards passing and 70 yards rushing all game.
Minnesota is averaging 20.7 points per game on offense. On the defensive side, the Golden Gophers are surrendering 26.8 points a game.
The Badgers are 2.5 point favorites in this one, so it could be a tight battle. The all-time series is tied at, 62-62-8, so the winner of this game will sway the pendulum to one side. Minnesota has won two in a rown against Wisconsin.
Wisconsin vs Minnesota: What They’re Saying
“Obviously, that’s the biggest thing, getting it back and bringing it back where it belongs. 0-2 against them, so definitely looking forward to another shot at it and I think the game plan that we’ll have going into this is going to be very good for us.” — Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen.
“That’s one of the first things that you learn when you walk into the doors, you know, what this rivalry means to this place, and what it means to them. It’s been awesome learning about it and I’m ready to play in it.” — Badgers QB Tanner Mordecai.
“It’s Axe week, and I know Wisconsin feels the same. If you win, you get to extend [your time with it]. If you don’t, then it’s up for grabs.” — Golden Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck.
