How to watch Wisconsin football vs. Nebraska

The No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers (7-3 overall, 5-2 Big Ten) are celebrating Senior Day on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium. The Freedom Trophy will also be on the line as the Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-7 overall, 1-6 Big Ten) will be in town for a Big Ten West showdown.

UW has now won six straight games after their 1-3 start to the season and are clicking on all cylinders. The Huskers have dropped four in a row and have also lost seven straight games to Wisconsin, including all six games when the Freedom Trophy has been up for grabs. This is an important game for both teams, outside of the rivalry implications, as the Badgers can potentially lock up the West Division (with some help) and Nebraska wants to build some momentum heading into next year.

Here is all of the info you need to get prepared for the game on Saturday. We will update this on Saturday morning with all of the fun facts your heart desires!

• Nebraska’s first Big Ten game was a matchup of the 7th-ranked Badgers and 8th-ranked Huskers at Camp Randall Stadium in 2011, in which Wisconsin scored 48-17 win. One of the best games that I have attended, btw.
• Wisconsin offensive line coach Joe Rudolph served as tight ends coach at Nebraska in 2007 before returning to his alma mater and serving in the same capacity with the Badgers from 2008-11.
• Former UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez — who retired in June after a combined 32 years as football head coach and A.D. — is a 1969 graduate of Nebraska and was a three-year letterwinner at linebacker from 1965-67 for Huskers coach Bob Devaney. Alvarez intercepted a pass in a 1966 game between the Huskers and Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium.
