I'll go with 17-3. Whisky is hard to figure out...lost to the corndogs 28-24 first game of last season, get blown out by O state in the championship game 59-0 then punk Barney 34-31 three weeks later.
Welcome, JK59. I respect the Badgers a lot. They are a good team. You are right - they will not lay down or be star-struck. They will play tough to the final whistle. Hope you guys win every other game on your schedule unless you make the playoffs, then you'd have to lose again.Wisconsin fan here. I understand why Bama fans feel like this one is a typical OOC gimme, and I certainly would feel the same in your shoes, but I think people here are way underselling the Badgers. UW had a top 5 defense last year and should be even better this year. Aranda runs an attacking 3-4 with pressure coming from all over the field. Its not an easy scheme to make your first start against. I think UW will struggle to move the ball much against your front 7 but Bama is going to struggle a bit to move the ball effectively too. UW's D is no joke. As much as I would love to predict a Badger upset I just can't see it happening. That being said, I expect it to be a close game throughout, UW has been playing more talented teams than themselves tough for two decades now and they aren't going to be intimidated by the Bama mystique. As pessimistic as our fans might be, the guys that count are going to step onto that field fully believing that they are the better team and that they are about to impose their will on their way to a W. Bama is going to have to win it, UW isn't going to roll over and let you guys work out some kinks as you prepare for the 'real season'.
I see a low scoring slugfest 20-13 Alabama.
