per Joe:
Tracy Claeys sees a way the Gophers can upset No. 5 Wisconsin on Saturday and reclaim Paul Bunyan’s Axe for the first time since 2003. But it involves a Bunyanesque task for Minnesota’s defense.
“My first impression is, yeah, you’re going to have to keep it around 14 points in order to have an opportunity to win,” Claeys said.
With one of the nation’s most stifling defenses, the Badgers have played a handful of low-scoring games. They defeated LSU (16-14), Iowa (17-9), Nebraska (23-17 in overtime) and Northwestern (21-7), and lost to Michigan (14-7). Their other loss was a 30-23, overtime slugfest at Ohio State.
The Gophers are two-touchdown underdogs heading to Madison, a place where they haven’t won since 1994. Crazy as it sounds, Minnesota might be better positioned to win than last year, when the Badgers were just 2½-point favorites but still prevailed 31-21 at TCF Bank Stadium.
