per the State Journal:

The active pursuit by Wisconsin this season of the program's first national championship has been spurred by the sheer dominance of the Badgers after halftime.

Minnesota could've warned their opponents of that.

The Gophers led the Badgers 17-3 on the road last year at the break and were still up 17-10 early in the fourth quarter, before falling 31-17. Playing at Camp Randall Stadium in 2014, the Gophers were ahead 17-3 in the second quarter and 17-13 at the half before losing 34-24. Minnesota also held first-half leads at home in 2015 and 2013, before Wisconsin flexed its muscles and took over down the stretch to foil those upset bids with double-digit victory margins.

"I think we do a good job as the game goes on, getting a feel of what defenses are doing," Badgers left tackle Michael Deiter said. "The more you can see, the more you're out there, the better you can be. We just keep fighting."
