GREEN BAY (Wis.) — Momentum swings were the story of the day for the first major college football game played at Lambeau Field in decades, as the Wisconsin Badgers (1-0) pulled off the upset over No. 5 ranked LSU (0-1).
The time has come. The highly anticipated matchup between the unranked Wisconsin Badgers and the No. 5 LSU Tigers is a day away and the gloom of the football offseason is clearing at last.

After accumulating nearly 2,000 rushing yards and 23 total touchdowns in 2015, junior running back Leonard Fournette will undoubtedly be the focal point of LSU’s offense come Sept. 3.
Lambeau Field is one entry on a short list of venues every sports fan should watch a game at before they die, preceded only by Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. It’s a bucket list item for rivals and nearly a place of worship for Packers fans, but for the people living in Green Bay, it’s an integral part of the community.
College football is officially back, which means the race for a Big Ten title is technically anyone’s to win (yes, even you, Purdue).

Although I was raised to be a Badger by my parents — who met at UW in the 80s — I did not attend a football game at Camp Randall until my junior year of high school.
For many of you incoming freshmen, going to Camp Randall on September 10 will be your first taste of Badger football, at least in person.
There’s a new face running the show for the Wisconsin Badgers’ defense this season. With former defensive coordinator Dave Aranda off to LSU, Justin Wilcox is taking over the unit that allowed the second-fewest yards per game in the country last season, so expectations will be high in 2016.
