QUICK RECAP: Wisconsin wins in overtime, keeping the Axe away from Minnesota

The Wisconsin Badgers (3-3), axed the Minnesota Golden Gophers (3-4) in overtime, 20-17, keeping Paul Bunyan’s Axe at home for another season.

Wisconsin, who has been fighting off injuries all season, were decimated once more on offense, playing without RBs Nakia Watson and Jalen Berger, but Wisconsin still got their best rushing performance of the season out of Garrett Groshek, who rushed for a career-high 154 yards which was the first 100-yard rushing performance of his career.

The biggest rush by Groshek of the game came in the second quarter, a 39-yard rushing touchdown, which tied the game up at 7-7.
