Week 1 of the 2016 college football season is officially in the books, and what a week it was.
After a monumental opening weekend win at Lambeau Field, the Wisconsin Badgers (1-0) return home this weekend to take on the Akron Zips (1-0). Coming off such an emotional win, the Badgers could be on upset alert against the Terry Bowden-coached Zips.
It was early evening in Green Bay, Wis. and it had turned into a cool late summer night, but inside a packed Lambeau Field things were beginning to heat up.

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.

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).
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Football is back, brats are on the grill and everyone has their bibs on.

College football’s return has finally crept up on the nation and left fans and pundits scrambling to predict the outcome of the season.

This announcement comes after a lengthy competition between Houston and redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook, with both QBs showing similar strengths and weaknesses.
After an uncharacteristically subpar year for the Wisconsin offensive line, the Badgers have been dealt a new blow after hearing redshirt junior Dan Voltz is retiring from football.
Former Wisconsin running back Montee Ball was sentenced to 60 days in jail after pleading guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery on Friday.
When the Wisconsin Badgers had to nominate a player to be the keynote speaker at the Big Ten Football Kickoff Luncheon, the choice for them was clear — the backup running back.
There’s no sense in sugarcoating it: Wisconsin’s new football uniforms are an absolute dud.
