Alabama football is set for its first road test of the Kalen DeBoer era on Saturday. The Crimson Tide travels to Wisconsin, where it will face the 2-0 Badgers after beating Western Kentucky and South Florida to start the season at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
UA is looking to improve after a rough performance last week against USF. The Tide was plagued with penalties and mistakes, though it recovered late in the fourth quarter, running the score up a bit in the 42-16 win.
Saturday’s game is hosting FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff pregame show. The game is set for an 11 a.m. CT kickoff, and will be aired on FOX as well.
