The Wisconsin Badgers play the Illinois State Redbirds on Sept. 2, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Badgers will open up their season against the Redbirds, who play in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Redbirds finished last season with an overall record of 4-7 and a conference record of 2-6. Meanwhile, Wisconsin finished last season at 9-4 and is ranked at No. 18 in the latest AP poll.
Wisconsin will likely turn to their trio of returning running back for offensive production in this early season matchup, led by sophomore running back Braelon Allen. He finished last season with 1268 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. The Fond du Lac, Wis., native has already been selected second-team preseason All-American by Pro Football Focus and the Associated Press.
It should be an exciting game to watch, as Badgers fans will get their first look at the 2022 Wisconsin team that has undergone several significant changes in the offseason.
