The No. 14 Wisconsin Badgers (0-0 overall, 0-0 B1G) are set to kickoff their season Friday night against the Illinois Fighting Illini (0-0 overall, 0-0 B1G) at an empty Camp Randall Stadium.
We have been, quite literally, waiting months longer than usual for Big Ten football to be back in our lives and it is finally here. The Badgers have a brand new QB1, Graham Mertz, due to an injury to Jack Coan that will leave him on the sidelines indefinitely. They have a new running back by committee approach not that Jonathan Taylor has moved on to the Indianapolis Colts.
