- DL: Unofficial depth chart: Jai’mier Scott listed above Fletcher.

- Wisconsin enters the Notre Dame opener expecting more than a dozen new starters across both sides of the ball after an offseason of roster change. - Wisconsin's preferred path is a compact slugfest built on a productive rushing attack, a clean intermediate passing game, and fewer total possessions. - Wisconsin's defense wants to use its physical front seven to keep Notre Dame off-kilter and make the game about control and physicality. - Wisconsin's practice pass rush was described as a defensive strength, with outside linebackers Sebastian Cheeks and Nicolas Clayton and linebackers Mason Posa and Cooper Catalano named as key pressure pieces. - Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr was described as squarely in the Heisman conversation, making Wisconsin's ability to disrupt him a central matchup variable.

- Wisconsin offensive linemen Kevin Heywood and Emerson Mandell took Monday reps but remain game-time decisions against Notre Dame as the staff weighs Week 1 urgency against their longer-term health. - Colton Joseph is taking Wisconsin's first-team quarterback reps while the two backup candidates remain even, with Luke Fickell prioritizing Joseph's ball security and decision-making in a balanced offense. - Wisconsin expects Notre Dame to use substantial man coverage behind an aggressive, deep front and plans to make elite corner Leonard Moore defend run edges rather than simply avoiding his side. - Wisconsin views CJ Carr's timing, deep ball and mistake recovery as central to Notre Dame's offensive balance and expects Mike Denbrock to retain a meaningful run component around him. - True freshmen Donovan Dunmore and Jack Sievers are expected to have Week 1 special-teams roles for Wisconsin at Lambeau Field.
