Les Miles is entering his 12th year at the helm of one of the nation’s truly elite football programs of the last decade.

As such, expectations in Baton Rouge are very high — as most observers have the Tigers ranked as a Pre-Season Top 5 team.
The team returns 18 of 22 starters on offense and defense; and boasts the 3rd-ranked signing class of 2016. Leonard Fournette is a prime candidate for the Heisman Trophy and the defense has a wealth of talent.
Now they face the unranked but always dangerous Wisconsin Badgers team from the Big Ten, in what promises to be a rollicking opening contest at the sacred Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
