The Gophers and Wisconsin will kick off next Saturday at 2:30 p.m., with the game at Camp Randall Stadium televised on Big Ten Network, the schools announced late last night.

Wisconsin (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) can win the West Division title with a victory or a Nebraska loss. The Gophers (8-3, 5-3 Big Ten) have been eliminated from the division race, but they're looking to reclaim Paul Bunyan's Axe in the annual rivalry for the first time since 2003.
