Minnesota reclaimed Paul Bunyan's Axe Saturday afternoon with a 24-7 win against rival Wisconsin, earning its third victory in Madison since 2018 in the process. The Gophers also improved to an impressive 3-1 in their past four games against Wisconsin and secured seven wins for the third time in four years under coach P.

While a four-game losing streak has marred what was supposed to be a promising season, the game is more than winnable for the Badgers. They will be home in Madison and can beat a Golden Gophers team with a similar record.
