3 things to watch for in the season opener: Will Tyler Van Dyke start off fast?

The Wisconsin Badgers are set to kick off their season on Friday evening when they host the Western Michigan Broncos in Week 1 of the college football season.

Here are three things to watch for ahead of the season opener.

Van Dyke’s start

All eyes will be on transfer quarterback Tyler Van Dyke on Friday, as the Badgers quarterback makes his debut after moving in from the Miami Hurricanes for his final season of college football.

Van Dyke has seen his fair share of ups and downs, with inconsistent play and injuries clouding his Miami career, and will now look to rewrite his story at Wisconsin under offensive coordinator Phil Longo.
