The Badgers have their champions week matchup, and it’s the game that any Wisconsin fan wanted to see. For the second time this year, it is Axe week, with this week hopefully ending in a rivalry game.
Wisconsin will face Minnesota on Saturday at 3 PM CT, with the Big Ten Network scheduled to show the contest.
The 3-3 Gophers come in as winners of back-to-back games, with the 2-3 Badgers limping in as losers of their last three. After taking back Paul Bunyan’s Axe a year ago, Wisconsin will look to keep control of the Axe on their home field.

Does it matter where we are in the season when these two programs get together? Absolutely not. All that matters is a win against your bitter rival. There is no better way for Wisconsin football to end this strange, tumultuous year.
