It might be the biggest football game ever played at 94-year-old Camp Randall Stadium and Barry Alvarez will be smack in the middle of it. When the seventh-ranked University of Wisconsin plays No. 8 Nebraska to open the Big Ten Conference season Saturday night, it will be as hyped as a preview of the inaugural league championship game later this year, as a melting pot of two legendary fan bases and as the nationally televised debut of the Cornhuskers under the Big Ten banner. It also will put the spotlight on Alvarez, who has an extraordinary vantage point for the game.
