Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Wisconsin - Opponent Preview

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (7-4) close out the regular season on Saturday with a visit to the Wisconsin Badgers (6-5) in the 132nd meeting between these two hated rivals.

Can Wisconsin score on offense?

The Badgers could be without top running back Braelon Allen against the Gophers. Wisconsin’s leading rusher was nursing a banged up shoulder entering last week’s game against Nebraska, before exiting the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent right leg injury. His status for Saturday is uncertain. Even if he is available for the regular season finale, Allen is unlikely to be 100%, which means the Badgers will lean more on Chez Mellusi and Isaac Guerendo.
