Badgers head coach Paul Chryst says it’s important to get Paul Bunyan’s ax back and beat the Minnesota Gophers Saturday.
Minnesota won the Border Battle last season for the first time in a long time. Now, with Wisconsin traveling there this weekend, it’s a much-tougher Gopher team waiting.
Chryst says Minnesota’s receivers are very good and the backs run “incredibly hard.” Keeping what the coach calls a “very explosive” offense in check will be the big challenge.
The winner of the game earns a berth in the Big Ten championship game at Indianapolis a week from this Saturday.
