Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Wisconsin - Opponent Preview

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-3) will not be traveling to Camp Randall on Saturday to battle the Wisconsin Badgers (2-1) for the right to wield Paul Bunyan’s Axe.

But I wrote a preview before the decision was made to cancel the game.

So here it is.

How have the Badgers fared so far this season?

Wisconsin made quick work of Illinois in their season opener before a COVID-19 outbreak put their season on pause for two weeks. To their credit, the Badgers didn’t seem to miss a beat when they were able to return to action against Michigan.
