Since 2003, the Gophers schedule has always ended with one thing missing….a win vs. Wisconsin.
That changed on Nov. 24, 2018, when P.J. Fleck and Co. rowed into Madison and emerged with a 37-15 win vs. the Badgers. The win not only gave the Gophers the Axe, but it also made the team bowl eligible with a 6-6 record in Fleck’s second year as head coach. The win was Minnesota’s first win in Madison since 1994.
“The state of Minnesota, this one’s for you,” Fleck said on ESPN2 after the game.
