It all comes down to this.

On Saturday, Wisconsin and Minnesota will meet in the Twin Cities for the annual rivalry game battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe. This year, there’s even more on the line.

Wisconsin will lock up a trip to Indianapolis with a win over Minnesota on Saturday. It will mark the fourth time in six seasons the Badgers have played in the B1G Championship Game. A lot is on the line at Huntington Bank Stadium.

A day before kickoff, Wisconsin released a hype video for the annual rivalry showdown. This week’s trailer featured senior defensive back Faion Hicks, who talked about the significance of keeping the Axe in Madison:

Both teams enter the game with the chance to take a trip to Indy, although the Gophers need some help while the Badgers can lock it up with a victory. It should make for a fun atmosphere in the Twin Cities.

Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET. The game will air on FOX.
