Rivalry week is finally here and this year’s Axe game has a lot on the line. The Wisconsin Badgers are on the verge of missing their first bowl game in 22 seasons, but have a chance to retain bowl eligibility with a home win against their arch-rival, the Minnesota Gophers.
Wisconsin comes into this game on a four-game losing streak, but is still favored by three according to most sportsbooks.
Here are three Badgers who can help the program retain bowl eligibility and get that coveted sixth win.
Darrion Dupree
Despite the loss, Darrion Dupree looked really good against Nebraska and was able to make plays on the ground when the offense lacked playmakers and juice.
