Here are some notes and tidbits heading into Saturday's game at Camp Randall Stadium between the Wisconsin Badgers and Western Illinois Leathernecks:
-- Not surprisingly, Wisconsin is 11-0 all-time against FCS teams. (Although Cal Poly . . .)
-- Wisconsin has won 18 consecutive home openers. The last loss was to Colorado in 1995.
-- The Badgers have won 29 straight home games against nonconference opponents, dating back to a 2003 loss to UNLV. Only LSU (40) owns a longer streak in the nation.
-- Wisconsin's last 15 wins have all been by a double-digit margin. The last single-digit win was against Utah State on Sept. 15, 2012.
-- The most rushing yards for Wisconsin against an FCS team is 168 by P.J. Hill against The Citadel in 2007 (Corey Clement has the second most with 149 vs. Tennessee Tech last season).
-- The Badgers have had four 100-yard receivers against FCS teams: David Gilreath vs. Cal Poly in 2008, Lance Kendricks vs. Austin Peay in 2010 and Nick Toon and Jared Abbrederis vs. South Dakota in 2011.
-- Wisconsin has had five 200-yard passers against FCS teams: Tyler Donovan vs. The Citadel in 2007, Dustin Sherer vs. Cal Poly in 2008, Scott Tolzien against Austin Peay in 2010, Russell Wilson vs. South Dakota in 2011 and Joel Stave vs. Tennessee Tech in 2013.
-- The last Wisconsin player not named Jared Abbrederis to have 100+ yards receiving in a game was Nick Toon vs. Oregon in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2, 2012 (28 games ago). In a regular-season game, it was Toon at Minnesota on Nov. 12, 2011 (33 games ago).
-- A Badgers tight end hasn't had a 100-yard receiving game since Lance Kendricks did it in back-to-back weeks in 2010 vs. Arizona State on Sept. 18 and Austin Peay on Sept. 25.
-- Only one Wisconsin kicker has ever had two 50+-yard field goals in a season, Taylor Mehlhaff in 2006, although one was in a bowl game. Rafael Gaglianone had a 51-yarder in the opener.
-- Kenzel Doe needs 5 kick return yards to pass Jared Abbrederis for 10th place on UW's all-time list.
-- Doe has 1 kick return for a touchdown. Only two Wisconsin players have had 2 kick returns for TDs: Ira Matthews and Nick Davis.
-- Doe needs 1 punt return to tie and 2 to pass Jim Miller for 10th place on UW's all-time list.
