Here are some notes, tidbits and stats heading for Saturday's game between the Wisconsin Badgers and Georgia State Panthers:

-- This is the 1st meeting between Wisconsin and Georgia State.

-- Wisconsin has won 36 consecutive home games against nonconference opponents. A 37th straight would break a tie Ohio State (1991-2005) for the sixth-longest such streak in NCAA history (Ole Miss next up with 39, done form 1947-68). The last loss to a nonconference opponent at Camp Randall Stadium was Sept. 13, 2003 vs. UNLV.

-- Georgia State, which has been in FBS since 2010, is 0-3 all-time vs. AP Top 25 opponents, being outscored 169-38.

-- Under Paul Chryst, Wisconsin is 9-1 when scoring first (2-0 in 2016), 3-2 when the opponent scores first, 7-1 when leading after the first quarter (1-0 in 2016), 1-2 when trailing after the first quarter, 11-0 when leading at halftime (2-0 in 2016), 1-3 when trailing at halftime, 10-0 when leading after the third quarter (1-0 in 2016) and 2-3 when trailing after the third quarter (1-0 in 2016).

-- Gaglianone needs one 50+-yard field goal to join Taylor Mehlhaff and Philip Welch as the only to have three FGs from 50+ in Wisconsin history (Mehlhaff 52, 51, 51; Welch 57, 52, 50; Gaglianone 51, 50).
