3 Badgers to Watch Against Western Michigan in Week 1

The Wisconsin Badgers open their season against the Western Michigan Broncos on Friday evening at Camp Randall Stadium, looking to kick things off with a win.

Ahead of the game, Wisconsin is seen as 23-point favorites against Western Michigan, with the over/under listed at 56 points.

Here are my 3 Badgers to look out for against Western Michigan this Friday night.

Riley Nowakowski

Riley Nowakowski had very low usage last season, but I expect him to be a much bigger part of Wisconsin’s offense this season.

During his time at Miami, Tyler Van Dyke made a strong effort to include tight end Will Mallory on most plays, and I expect him to do the same with Nowakowski.
