The LSU Tigers open their 2016 campaign this Saturday against Wisconsin at the hollowed "frozen tundra" of Green Bay's Lambeau Field.

All hard core Tigers fans are already well versed in the ways of this week's opponent, but what does the media in the Badger state say about Les Miles' lads?

Well, according to the Wisconsin football website bucky's 5th quarter, the Tigers are worthy of respect, and lots of it:

"LSU owns the longest non-conference regular-season winning streak in FBS history, currently at 52 games, as it heads up to Green Bay to face Wisconsin. Fournette, a Heisman Trophy favorite, scored 23 touchdowns last season and is only 13 rushing yards shy of reaching 3,000 for his career—he could become the Tigers’ fastest player to reach that mark."

The Badgers media, which terms LSU "an experienced and talented SEC powerhouse", also gives props to Miles defense and, more specifically, former Badger coordinator Dave Aranda:

"Head coach Les Miles also returns eight starters on defense, now under the guise of Aranda and his base 3-4 defense. Sophomore Arden Key should transition really well from defensive end to outside linebacker, and should be a break-out star as a pass-rusher this season. Senior Kendell Beckwith should fit in really well too. He was a bit miscast as a 4-3 mike [linebacker], but with a little more help in the middle he should be a lot more productive, and have his weaknesses covered up a bit."
