The Badgers released their status report just minutes ago, and Wisconsin will be without a top offensive piece against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday. Wisconsin and Minnesota are set for a 2:30 PM CT kickoff at Camp Randall as the Badgers look to regain control of The Axe.
Wisconsin will be without 11 players in total, 8 of whom were already ruled out for the season earlier this year.
It’s a mix of offense and defense, but the big news concerns the Wisconsin running back room. Which 11 players will the Badgers be without? Here is a complete look at the Wisconsin status report for The Battle for the Axe.
