Editor’s note: This is part one of a 12-part series previewing Western Kentucky’s football opponents for the 2018 season.
Wisconsin will host the Hilltoppers on Aug. 31 in Madison, Wis. Kickoff from Camp Randall Stadium is set for 8 p.m., with the game broadcast on ESPN.
The Associated Press preseason Top 25 poll won’t come out until August. When it does, Western Kentucky coach Mike Sanford expects to see Wisconsin near the very top.
“They look like a team that’s going to be rated in the top five of the country preseason,” Sanford said last month at an alumni event in Louisville.
