After Saturday's win, the Gophers have now beaten Wisconsin four times in the last five seasons. It's their best stretch in the historic rivalry since 1986-1990. They capped off the 17-7 win with a field storm, and they chopped down the goalposts with Paul Bunyan's Axe in one of the best traditions in college football.

The first song on the Huntington Bank Stadium loudspeaker was Wisconsin's patented Jump Around. There's nothing quite like college football rivalry week, and Saturday's game was just more evidence.
