The No. 12 Wisconsin Badgers upset the No. 8 Minnesota Golden Gophers 38-17 Saturday evening at a snowy TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to claim their sixth Big Ten West title since 2011.
The Gophers jumped out to a promising lead on their first possession with a 51-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tanner Morgan to receiver Rashod Bateman. However, the Badgers reclaimed control of the game after that. Wisconsin scored 21 unanswered points in the second half to open up a 38-10 lead and suck the life out of Minnesota.
Both teams finished the regular season at 10-2.
