The Gophers will be without starting safety Aidan Gousby for the second straight week, and starting left guard Tyler Cooper is questionable, despite returning to the lineup last week against Penn State.

Goubsy suffered a hamstring injury three weeks ago against Rutgers. He has been one of Minnesota's most significant contributors in the secondary this season with 421 snaps on the year. The Gophers will now look towards freshman duo Kerry Brown and Koi Perich at the safety position for the second straight week.

Cooper returned to the lineup for the first time in nearly a month last week against Penn State for senior day. He played all 59 snaps at left guard, but he's questionable heading into Friday's game against Wisconsin. If he's limited or unable to go, redshirt sophomore Ashton Beers could fill in for him.

The 134th playing of Minnesota's historic rivlary with Wisconsin will kick off at 11 a.m. CT on CBS.
