What channel is Wisconsin vs. Buffalo on Saturday? Time, TV schedule, odds for Badgers' opener

The Luke Fickell era at Wisconsin begins Saturday.

And the game on your screen will look a bit different when you watch Fickell's first UW team this weekend.

It likely won't be the same type of UW offense you saw 10 years ago — or 10 months ago.

With SMU transfer quarterback Tanner Mordecai leading Wisconsin's new 'Air Raid' system this season, probability is high the Badgers' attack will be more versatile and look more explosive. Mordecai threw for 72 touchdowns and 7,152 yards in his last two seasons at SMU.
