The Wisconsin Badgers extended their 11-game win streak over Minnesota to 12 with a dominating rushing performance. Former walk-on cornerback turned running back, Dare Ogunbowale rushed for a career high 155 yards and the Badgers offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage en route to a XX-21 win. With the loss, Minnesota finishes 5-7 and comes up short of regaining The Axe and becoming bowl eligible.
Things began well for the Gophers as Wisconsin's quarterback, Joel Stave threw a bubble pass on the Badger's first play of the game that was perfectly read by Briean Boddy-Calhoun, intercepted and returned 16 yards for a Gopher touchdown.
