The Axe stays in Madison, and they're letting everyone know about it on social media.

The Wisconsin Badgers (9-3, 5-2) defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers (5-7, 2-6) for the 12th straight time in their 31-21 win at TCF Stadium on Saturday.

UW's offense -- with its seventh offensive line combination in 12 games with right tackle Beau Benzschawel sliding over to the right guard slot in place of the injured Walker Williams -- gained 257 yards on the ground, 199 of those in the first half.

The Badgers' defense forced Minnesota into five turnovers on the afternoon, including three interceptions, and contained that offense to only 276 yards.
