Football: Western Kentucky comes to town to kick off season

Friday evening, Badger fans will make the first of many treks down to Camp Randall as Wisconsin Football takes on Western Kentucky University in the season opener.

The long offseason finally comes to a close on the tail end of a mercurial few weeks for the usually-understated University of Wisconsin program. Lofty AP Poll rankings, which placed Wisconsin at No. 4 in the country, soon gave way to scandal as the team’s top two receivers, Quintez Cephus and Danny Davis, were implicated in sexual assault allegations, placing Davis on a two-game suspension and Cephus out for the foreseeable future.
