Although many traditional college football fans complain about conference realignment, its benefits have also been apparent. We have already seen dream matchups that otherwise would have never taken place in the regular season. One of the better ones this week is the Wisconsin Badgers at the USC Trojans. So far, Wisconsin has been one of the biggest Betting on College Football disappointments this season. The Badgers have not successfully transitioned from the power running game that served them so well. Concurrently, the Air Raid that second-year coach Luke Fickell vowed to transform the program with is failing.

Wisconsin Badgers Team Overview
Last game, the Wisconsin Badgers lost 42-10 against the Alabama Crimson Tide as 14-point home dogs. The game went over the total of 47. Wisconsin has a record of 2-1 straight up, 0-3 against the spread and 1-2 over/under the sports betting
total. Wisconsin ranks 96th for total offense, 104th for passing, 59th for rushing, and 110th for scoring. Defensively they rank 41st overall, 29th against the pass, 78th against the rush, and 69th for points allowed. Also, Wisconsin ranks 63rd for fewest turnovers lost and 120th for takeaways.
Namely, Jalen Milroe already had established himself as one of the nation’s most dynamic players while working behind an injury-riddled offensive line. With all his blockers finally healthy, Milroe got even more opportunities to showcase his explosiveness. And his passion for the game.
Milroe threw three touchdowns and ran for two more. In turn, Alabama made a rare trip north and won 42-10 over Wisconsin. The Badgers lost quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to an injury on the game’s first series. In sum, Milroe went 12 of 17 for 196 yards with touchdown passes of 31 yards to Ryan Williams, 26 yards to Germie Bernard, and 37 yards to Josh Cuevas. Also, he rushed for 75 yards on 14 carries, scoring on runs of 3 and 10 yards.
Alabama was playing its first true road game against a team from north of the Mason-Dixon Line since 2011. Also, it marked the Crimson Tide’s first trip to Camp Randall Stadium since a 15-0 loss to Wisconsin in 1928. Wisconsin suffered its most lopsided home loss since a 48-7 defeat against Penn State in 2008. Van Dyke was hurt when he was tackled on a scramble. He clutched his right knee at the end of the run and eventually was carted into the locker room. Late on it was determined that Van Dyke will miss the rest of the season.
