Minnesota’s Decker will miss game against Wisconsin

The Minneapolis Star Tribune is [reporting ](http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/34278784.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUUF) that Minnesota wide receiver Erik Decker will miss Saturday’s game at Camp Randall against the Badgers due to an ankle injury.

Decker and quarterback Adam Weber have combined to form one of the most dangerous passing threats in the Big Ten. Decker has 74 receptions for 892 yards and six touchdowns this season. By comparison, the top UW receiver, tight end Garrett Graham, has just 35 catches for 467 yards and four touchdowns.

Last season in Minneapolis, Decker torched the Wisconsin secondary for 125 yards on six catches, two of which went for scores. Not having him in the lineup makes Minnesota’s offense a bit more manageable for the UW secondary.
