Alabama Set to Face Wisconsin in Week 3 Showdown
Tuscaloosa, AL – The No. 18 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide are gearing up to host the Wisconsin Badgers this Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. This game marks the completion of a home-and-home series that began last year when Alabama secured a dominant 42-10 victory on the road.
This weekend’s matchup will be the first time Alabama has faced Wisconsin in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide holds a historical edge in the series, with two wins in their three encounters. Wisconsin’s sole victory dates back to 1928.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday, September 13, and will be broadcast on ABC.
Analysts’ Expectations
Several analysts have shared their insights on the upcoming game, pointing to key areas that could determine the outcome.
One area of focus is Alabama’s defense. After a strong performance in Week 2, analysts are eager to see if the Crimson Tide’s pass rush can improve as they head into conference play. The game against Wisconsin presents the last opportunity to fine-tune this aspect before a crucial matchup against Georgia.
Another key aspect is Alabama’s running game. Wisconsin’s defense has been effective at stopping the run, allowing very few rushing yards in their first two games. Alabama’s ability to establish a successful running game will be crucial for their offensive strategy.
Injury Updates
Wide receiver Ryan Williams is expected to play for Alabama after recovering from a concussion. However, the status of linebacker Jah-Marien Latham, defensive tackle Tim Keenan III, and running back Jam Miller remain uncertain, and their availability will be a game-time decision. Tight end Danny Lewis is confirmed to be out due to injury. Additionally, defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman is sidelined for the entire season.
Score Predictions
Analysts are anticipating a comfortable victory for Alabama, with predicted scores reflecting the Crimson Tide’s expected dominance. One analyst predicts a 38-6 win for Alabama, while another forecasts a 30-13 victory.
