Gophers face a Badgers offense built to throw, not run

Moments after the Gophers' 32-23 victory over Illinois last week, offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover mentioned altering the interior design of his home.

Limegrover, who doubles as the offensive line coach, reminded his O-linemen that he doesn't have a picture of them holding Paul Bunyan's Axe. He has group photos of his big boys after wins in the team's other three trophy games.

"I have a space open in my den for one of those -- for the Axe," Limegrover said Tuesday.

The Gophers last beat Wisconsin in 2003 -- long before selfies on Instagram moved to the forefront of modern photography.
