Jeff Portykus, Wisconsin beat guy for the Milwaukee paper, got back to me with the Q&A ... will organize later, but here is his prediction for Saturday:
I think UW will win a game dictated by the offenses. I'm not sure how well Minnesota can run the ball. I do believe Decker will have a very good game. He is too good to shut down. But I think UW has too many weapons on offense for Minnesota's defense, particularly the secondary.
