Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Wisconsin - Opponent Preview

Bowl eligibility and Paul Bunyan’s Axe will be on the line when the Minnesota Golden Gophers (5-6) host the Wisconsin Badgers (6-5) on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT.

Can Wisconsin score on offense?

The Air Raid offense heralded by the hiring of offensive coordinator Phil Longo under first-year Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell has failed to take flight in Year 1. Former SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai has been a disappointment, though he was sidelined for three games with a broken hand. After throwing for a combined 72 touchdowns in his last two seasons with the Mustangs, Mordecai has only four passing touchdowns with the Badgers this season.
