Wisconsin (6-3, 8-4) at Minnesota (6-3, 8-4) Post Game

#14 Wisconsin Badgers (6-2, 8-3) at Minnesota Golden Gophers (5-3, 7-4)
4:00 - Minneapolis, MN - FOX
Feels like not that long ago that Minnesota controlled their own destiny with regards to the Big Ten Championship Game, and Wisconsin was battling for bowl eligibility.  Well, it's Thanksgiving weekend, and Wisconsin is back in control of the Division.  Northwestern has grabbed the division twice, once in a COVID year, but nobody else has won it since Iowa six years ago.  Minnesota has never won it, and the fact that they aren't playing for it this year is their own fault.  Losing in Iowa City is forgivable.  Losing at home to Illinois, when your defense gives up 14, isn't.  The Gophers bounced back from a two game losing streak (their first two game divisional losing streak since 2017) with a dominant win over a reeling Indiana team last week.  But now they try to win the Axe for just the second time in the past 18 years.  The most Wisconsin thing ever is to have your starting running back transfer; you backup running back suffer a season ending injury, only to discover your #3 back is actually the most talented on the team.  Braelon Allen has run for over 400 yards over the past two weeks, alone nearly twice as many yards as Minnesota has allowed the opposition this year.  However, the Badgers will be the first opponent to average over 5 ypc that Minnesota has faced since the season opener, when Ohio State ran for 201...while not realizing Tre'Veyon Henderson was their best back.  He was fourth on the team in carries in that game.  Granted, for Wisconsin, they also haven't faced a defense this good against the run since Michigan, back in the first weekend of October.  So has Wisconsin's run game actually figured it out, or have they stopped playing good run defenses?  I'll buy the track record.
WISCONSIN 26, MINNESOTA 21

If the Gophers have any chance in this game, they need to be on the lead from the jump. If they find themselves down two possessions early, it going to end in a Badger blowout. At least it won't be snowing this time.

I am not sure to root for the Gophers, or the Badgers. If the Gophers win, the Hawkeyes are the sacrificial lamb.

I like it when the rivalry trophy case is full. :)

Wisconsin really turned their season around, duh, it's pretty impressive to me, at a distance.  I had them washed out and gone.

Who hates Iowa?
Not Minnesota.
And, in Iowa, we love the Gophers!

An Iowa win in Indy would throw some wrenches.
