Wisconsin starts Big Ten play this week against one of the few ranked teams on their schedule, No. 13 Penn State. The Nittany Lions are in a weird spot this season with a new coach and new roster, but a lot of hype and expectations. There's some attention going to this game as Penn State has yet to play a Power 4 team, and their first is the Badgers. Are they good? Bad? Sloppy? What does this team look like under Matt Campbell?
There's going to be extra attention on this game, not only from Badger fans and Nittany Lion fans, but also from football fans around the country.
This article is a full guide on how to watch, odds, announcers, weather, and all the other little things that you will need to get ready for the game. You may want to bookmark this and come back to it later.

It's slightly surprising that Wisconsin got two back-to-back Peacock games especially with Penn State being ranked. There is some frustration that the first Big Ten game of the season for both teams is a streaming game on Peacock but by now maybe more fans have the streaming-only service. Next week the Badgers will be on the Big Ten Network against Michigan State at home.
