No. 18 Wisconsin (2-1) and No. 12 Notre Dame (3-0) meet Saturday at noon ET (watch on FOX and the FOX Sports App) at storied Soldier Field.

And FOX Sports college football analysts RJ Young and Geoff Schwartz are here to help you follow all the action from Chicago as they host our Live Tailgate, starting right at kickoff. Geoff and RJ will not only offer their expert perspective on this crucial non-conference matchup, they'll be joined by former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer and former Wisconsin linebacker Chris Orr.

FOX's Big Noon Kickoff is in town for the matchup, hosting fans on the Great Lawn on the east side of Soldier Field. So, swing by and hear from the experts, and get the chance to take home some great prizes.

Both fan bases are hyped up for the schools' first meeting since 1964, with tickets in high demand and prices on the secondary market soaring.

Notre Dame senior quarterback Jack Coan is a central figure in Saturday's drama, as he makes his fourth career start for the Fighting Irish after starting his career with the Badgers.

The Badgers have been installed as a six-point favorite at FOX Bet, but the Irish have shown a flair for the dramatic in amassing their unbeaten record.

Expect plenty of drama when these two schools, separated by less than 250 miles, renew acquaintances.
