Overview
- Kickoff is Thursday, Aug. 28 at 9 p.m. ET at Camp Randall Stadium, airing on Big Ten Network with streaming on Fubo and radio coverage on SiriusXM channel 195; BTN's crew is Lisa Byington, Anthony Herron and Patrick Herb.
- Wisconsin begins 2025 under pressure after a 5-7 finish last season that snapped a long run of winning years for Luke Fickell's program.
- Head coach Luke Fickell hired Jeff Grimes to run the offense, and transfer quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. is expected to take over under center.
- Miami (Ohio) enters with momentum from back-to-back nine-win seasons, a 2024 MAC title-game appearance and an Arizona Bowl victory, with seventh-year dual-threat Dequan Finn projected at quarterback.
- The night setting at Camp Randall is framed as a significant test for the visitors, and Wisconsin lists tight end Tucker Ashcraft as questionable.
