The 2025 college football campaign is finally here, and Wisconsin will host Miami (Ohio) on Thursday night for both programs’ season opener.
The clock is ticking for Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell, who took over the program in 2022. The Badgers went 5-7 last year and struggled with injuries along the way, missing out on bowl eligibility. In this new Big Ten landscape, the pressure is officially on.
Miami (Ohio) has enjoyed a solid run in the MAC in recent years, winning at least nine games in each of the last two seasons. The RedHawks even reached the conference championship game in 2024, but they fell to Ohio before bouncing back with a win over Colorado State in the Arizona Bowl.
Which team will snag its first win of the season?
