Paul Bunyan’s Axe hasn’t changed hands in more than a decade, and the Wisconsin football team has no intention of relinquishing it.
Wisconsin (8-3, 5-2 Big Ten) has won its last 11 games against Minnesota (5-6, 2-5), the longest winning streak in a series that dates back to 1890. Still, Minnesota leads the all-time series 59-57, with the teams tying eight times along the way.
The 125th matchup between the two teams will kick off at 2:30 p.m. in Minneapolis Saturday.
When the two teams met last year on the final day of the regular season, the Big Ten West title was at stake.
