Wisconsin enters Saturday’s game with a 1-1 record. The Badgers lost their season-opener against Penn State and defeated Eastern Michigan in Week 2. Last Saturday, Wisconsin had an off week.
Notre Dame comes into the contest with a perfect 3-0 record, posting wins over Florida State, Toledo and Purdue.
Saturday’s game will mark the 17th matchup between the two programs. Notre Dame owns an 8-6-2 lead all-time, but this is the first contest between the two teams since 1964.
