This will need to be a rebound game for the Badgers, specifically for Wisconsin’s passing game, after struggling against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Luckily, the Badgers have held Eastern Michigan to less than seven points in all three of their meetings, while outscoring the Eagles a combined 101-9. Wisconsin won all three of their matchups in the 1990s and a similar outcome is very likely for this matchup.

After a rough-looking Week 1, hopefully, the Badgers can get it rolling in what should be an outstanding night-game Camp Randall atmosphere on Saturday.

Wisconsin plays AAC opponent in latest USA Today bowl projections

The Badgers play an AAC opponent in the latest USA Today bowl projections:

After losing to the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, the Wisconsin Badgers are now predicted to play against the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Fiesta Bowl by the latest bowl projections from USA Today.

The Badgers have never played in a Fiesta Bowl before, but have played the Bearcats four times in their program history. Wisconsin has won three of the four matchups between them, with the only loss coming back in 1999 when the Badgers were defeated 17-12.

The College Football Playoff teams for this week include Alabama, Oklahoma, Clemson and Ohio State.

Although the Fiesta Bowl projection is quite an honor for the Badgers, they will have to rebound against Eastern Michigan on Saturday to continue to live up to those expectations.

Wisconsin football drops out of top 15 in latest AFCA Coaches Poll

After a disappointing loss to Penn State, the Badgers have fallen out of the top 15 of the AFCA Coaches Poll:

After a disappointing loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions last Saturday, the Wisconsin Badgers have fallen two spots to No. 17 in the latest AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Although the Badgers did lose to a ranked opponent in now No. 13 Penn State, there were serious issues that emerged in the game for Wisconsin including difficulties with play calling and the overall offensive performance. The Badgers will need a better showing against MAC conference opponent Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

Besides Wisconsin, Indiana was the only other Big Ten team to drop in this weeks’ poll to unranked after a disappointing loss to the now No. 12 Iowa Hawkeyes. Penn State moved up seven spots to No. 13, while the Ohio State Buckeyes moved up one spot to No. 3 after beating Minnesota on Thursday night.

The top 10 includes Alabama(1), Georgia(2), Ohio State(3), Oklahoma(4), Texas A&M(5), Clemson(6), Notre Dame(7), Cincinnati(8), Florida(9) and Iowa State(10).

Wisconsin will face off next against the Eastern Michigan Eagles on Saturday at Camp Randall at 6:00 p.m. CST.

5. College Football News Preview 2020: Eastern Michigan Eagles Offense 3 Things To Know

– The EMU offense was able to throw the ball – it led the MAC with 283 yards per game – but it struggled to consistently move the ball, the running game wasn’t great, and there weren’t a whole lot of long marches. Now the program needs to come up with a quarterback.

Mike Glass turned into a MAC star, rolling up over 3,000 yards with 24 touchdowns, but he’s done. Preston Hutchinson is a veteran backup who hit 75% of his throws for 462 yards and three scores in his limited work, but on the way is Southern Utah transfer Chris Helbig, a 6-4 bomber who could step in on Day One.

– The receiving corps will be missing Arthur Jackson and Mathew Sexton, but leading target Quian Williams is back after catching 52 passes for 661 yards and a team-high six scores. Junior Dylan Drummond led the team with 55 catches as a short-range target, and senior TE Bryson Cannon is coming off a good first season – catching 20 passes with two scores – coming from the JUCO ranks.

– There aren’t a slew of stars on the line, but there’s a whole lot of experience with four starters expected to return – all of them underclassmen last season. The pass protection was strong, but the line didn’t do a ton for the running game. There’s good depth to work into the mix, too. Now the team needs to find someone to run the ball.

Leading rusher Shaq Vann is done after running for 715 yards. Senior Willie Parker is a smallish speedster who got in a little work, but he only ran for 142 yards and two scores. After Parker the Eagles will rely on the recruiting class to find more help.
