Gentlemen, start your engines!

This will be a great game for Badger fans because it will offer an opportunity to see how well they have developed and to hopefully get a better view of how Russell Wilson will handle the offense. In some respects, this and the Oregon State game will be an accurate preview leading up to the Nebraska game, which ought to be one of the best this year. It's going to be one of those memorable nights in Madison, hopefully for Badger fans.

Vs UNLV wont tell all that much, but

the next few games vs N Illinois and Oregon State definitely should.
UNLV should be a beatdown. The Badgers played very poorly and sloppy last season vs UNLV, very uncharacteris for them, and still won by 20 (41-21). Yes we will get to see what Wilson looks like in our offense, but we won’t really know how good he will be until after the Ore-State game.

I bet on that spread...

so did everyone else in Vegas last year for that game. While I went against my better judgement with the Badgers last year, I think a game like UNLV is the ideal opponent to break Wilson into our system. Let us build a comfortable lead behind our running game and then open it up to let Wilson play and start building his confidence with this team.
