It’s Rivalry Week across college football, and that means it is time for the battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe. The trophy, bragging rights, and a division title are on the line this time around.

For Minnesota, a season that started with the loss of star running back Mo Ibrahim and also contained a loss to Bowling Green could turn into an 8-win campaign with a win over the Badgers. This season may not have been everything P.J. Fleck’s squad was hoping for, but a win in the rivalry would be a nice cap to the year.

Heading into the game, Minnesota dropped a hype video Friday evening narrated by former Gopher LB Thomas Barber. Barber played for the Gophers from 2016-19 and was a part of Minnesota’s most recent win over the Badgers in 2018.

Needless to say, the hype video for this edition of the rivalry is a thing of beauty:

Wisconsin has won 16 of the last 17 meetings with Minnesota’s lone win coming in 2018. Can the Gophers flip the script?
