No. 18 Wisconsin opens its season Saturday by hosting Football Championship Subdivision program Illinois State. This marks the first time Illinois State has faced a Big Ten program since its 2016 upset of Northwestern. Illinois State will have its hands full containing a Wisconsin rushing attack that features Associated Press All-America preseason second-team selection Braelon Allen. Wisconsin went 9-4 and won the Las Vegas Bowl last year. Illinois State is coming off a 4-7 season.
