per Blount:
Jack Sanborn has gotten used to the constant gyrations this season, navigating the abrupt shifts and recalibrations required of a football team trying to play through a pandemic. The Wisconsin linebacker wasn't demoralized by an injury to the starting quarterback, or the rash of positive tests that shut down team activities for 13 days, or the cancellation of two of the Badgers' first three games.
He had to work a little harder to absorb another blow. On Nov. 24, with the Gophers in the midst of a COVID-19 outbreak, the plug was pulled on their trip to Wisconsin to play for Paul Bunyan's Axe.
"We were all excited to play them," Sanborn said. "To get that game canceled, it crushed us. A lot of us were a little upset because that's the big one, Wisconsin vs. Minnesota."

Badgers fell into a rut after original game with Gophers was canceled
Wisconsin has scored 20 points combined in three losses but is energized to keep Paul Bunyan's Axe.
