The Wisconsin Badgers will welcome another top program to Camp Randall Stadium this weekend when they take on the No. 1 Oregon Ducks.
Before the showpiece game, Badgers head coach Luke Fickell spoke with reporters during his weekly press briefing on Monday.
When asked what his players should expect Saturday, Fickell alluded to the general level of difficulty when facing one of the best in college football.
“They’re going to be challenged in different ways,” Fickell said. “You can be challenged every week in different ways. This one will be one we may not have seen all year. The ability for them to throw the ball down the field, the dynamic of the wide receivers they have and the ability of the quarterback… to make plays both with his feet and through the air.
Wisconsin enters the game having lost its previous two games against Penn State and Iowa by a combined 47 points. Still, the opportunity for a surprise signing lies right in front of Wisconsin. This is what Fickell plans to convey to his players this week.
“You keep reminding them that this is what we signed up for,” Fickell said. “We recognize that this league, and college football in general, is evolving. This is why you play. You have every chance of going there and earning the respect you want.
Kickoff time is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT at Camp Randall, and the game will be broadcast on NBC.
