Sports on WRCO this weekend

The Wisconsin Badgers (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) look to continue their upward trend when they visit the rival Northwestern Wildcats (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) on Saturday.

The Badgers come into the contest red hot, winning two straight games by a combined margin of 94-13. The two wins were the best performances of the Luke Fickell era to date, complete with the dominance of Phil Longo’s Air Raid offense and strong play from the defense.

Meanwhile, the northwest is heading into Saturday with a certain momentum of its own. The Wildcats defeated Maryland 37-10 on the road last Friday, losing two games and earning their first Big Ten win of the season. The team has looked more complete on both sides of the football since Jack Lausch took over at quarterback in Week 3. Today’s game has an 11 a.m. kickoff with pregame set for 9 a.m. on WRCE AM 1450 and FM 107.7.

The AFC South-leading Houston Texans will look for their fourth straight win when they take on the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Green Bay has won its last two games. The Packers have won their last three meetings with the Texans, but have not faced them since 2020. Houston’s only win over the Packers came in 2008 at Lambeau Field. This game pits two of the best young quarterbacks in the league in Houston’s CJ Stroud and Green against Bays Jordan Love. This NFL matchup begins at 10 a.m. on WRCO FM 100.9. The pregame and kick-off will take place tomorrow (Sunday) at 12 p.m.
