Watch: Does Wisconsin football have a chance against Alabama?
Journal Sentinel reporter Mark Stewart discusses the UW football team’s chances against No. 4 Alabama on Saturday at Camp Randall.
The Wisconsin football team faces one of its toughest challenges of the Luke Fickell era on Saturday when the Badgers face No. 4 Alabama.
The Badgers, who are on their way to a spot in the US LBM Coaches Poll, are coming off a 27-13 win over South Dakota last week at Camp Randall Stadium. Wisconsin will have its hands full against an Alabama team loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, bolstered by freshmen like wide receiver Ryan Williams and veteran transfers like Keon Sabb.
