The Badgers needed a win against Minnesota, not only to keep their brief hopes at a bowl game alive, but also to reclaim Paul Bunyan's Axe. However, after another poor offensive performance, Wisconsin fell to the Gophers 17-7, who then proceeded to immediately troll the Badgers right after the final whistle blew.
Wisconsin struggled to move the ball throughout the game, and outside of a highlight reel touchdown grab, it never got into any sort of rhythm. Minnesota on the other hand, had little trouble navigating the snowy conditions, and took no time letting the Badger state know after the game.
