What to Know

After two games on the road, the Minnesota Golden Gophers are heading back home. Minnesota and the Wisconsin Badgers will face off in a Big Ten battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium. This is a home game for Minnesota, a silver lining they hope will compensate for the 3-point spread against them.

The Golden Gophers ran circles around the Northwestern Wildcats last week, and the extra yardage (415 yards vs. 185 yards) paid off. Minnesota took down Northwestern 38-22.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin was no stranger to outgunning their opponent yards-wise, either, with 598 yards compared to the Purdue Boilermakers' 366. Wisconsin blew past Purdue 45-24. Among those leading the charge for Wisconsin was RB Jonathan Taylor, who rushed for 222 yards and one TD on 28 carries. Taylor put himself on the highlight reel with a 51-yard TD scramble in the first quarter.

Their wins bumped Minnesota to 9-1 and Wisconsin to 9-2. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Golden Gophers rank seventh in the league when it comes to passing yards allowed per game, with only 176.3 on average. As for the Badgers, they enter the matchup with only seven rushing touchdowns allowed, good for fifth best in the nation. We'll find out if either of these strengths ends up making the difference in the game.
