Alabama rolls over Wisconsin in Crimson Tide’s first visit to Madison in nearly a century

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe shined Saturday as the Crimson Tide made a rare regular-season trip north of the Mason-Dixon line.

Milroe finished with three passing touchdowns against the Wisconsin Badgers. He added two more rushing touchdowns and rushed for 75 yards on the ground to help Alabama to a 42-10 victory at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.

“Every time I step on the football field, I’m just really happy and passionate about the game of football,” Milroe said. “Whenever we have the opportunity to make an explosive play, I’m just about having fun and remembering why I play the game – just to have fun and experience moments like that.”

Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke had to leave the game early due to an injury he sustained when he was tackled during a scuffle.

Van Dyke held his right knee at the end of the run and was eventually taken to the locker room. He watched the second half from the Wisconsin sideline but was reliant on crutches.

On Saturday, the Crimson Tide traveled to Madison for the first time since a 15-0 loss to Wisconsin in 1928. Wisconsin, meanwhile, suffered its most lopsided home loss since a 48-7 defeat to Penn State in 2008.

Alabama running back Jam Miller, who scored a touchdown on a 34-yard run, praised the team’s offensive line when discussing the Crimson Tide’s productive day.

“This group was incredible today. You could see them moving guys around, creating gaps for the running back and creating a big gap for the quarterback,” Miller said. “That made a difference. It was great to see what they can do.”

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell said the devastating loss was painful.

“I’m going to give you the same message I just gave them,” Fickell said. “If you’ve never taken a beating, you just took one. That hurts. That’s not easy. But in this game, that’s going to happen. That’s part of the game. That sucks. That doesn’t mean you didn’t work hard. That doesn’t mean you didn’t prepare. That means you didn’t do your job.”
