Live Updates: Alabama 42, Wisconsin 10; Final
MADISON, Wis. – No. 4 Alabama (2-0) will face the Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) this morning in its first road game of the 2024 season at Camp Randall Stadium (11 a.m. CT on FOX).
Alabama and Wisconsin will square off for just the third time in history today. The all-time series is tied at 1-1 with the last meeting coming on Sept. 5, 2015, in Arlington, Texas. That season’s kickoff game inside AT&T Stadium finished in favor of the Crimson Tide, 35-17.
Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer has never faced the Badgers in his head coaching career. Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell is 0-1 all-time against the Crimson Tide, with the lone loss coming in the 2021 CFP Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl while he was at Cincinnati.
Historically, Alabama is 76-39-5 all-time in road openers. Since 2008, the Tide is 15-1 in road-opening games, with the only loss in that span taking place at Ole Miss on Oct. 4, 2014.
