Photo gallery from Wisconsin’s 42-10 loss to Alabama

The Wisconsin Badgers football team lost to Alabama 42-10 at home on Saturday. It was the team’s first loss of the year, dropping its record to 2-1 on the young season.

Wisconsin’s starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke went down with a leg injury on the Badgers’ opening possession. He was replaced by redshirt sophomore Braedyn Locke for the remainder of the game.

Locke ended his day with 125 passing yards and a touchdown while completing 13 of 26 passes. The Badgers’ running game never found consistent success, with both Chez Mellusi and Cade Yacamelli losing back-breaking fumbles.

On the flip side, Alabama was in full command after falling behind 3-0 to start the game. Quarterback Jalen Milroe, a Heisman Trophy candidate, had himself a day. He compiled 196 passing yards and three touchdowns on 12 of 17 passing. He also added 75 rushing yards and two scores on 14 carries.

The Badgers will look to regroup during the bye week as they prepare to travel to Los Angeles, California to face USC on Sept. 28. In the meantime, here are some of the best pictures from Wisconsin’s Week 3 loss to the Crimson Tide:

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Alabama Crimson Tide: Series history, all-time record

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Alabama Crimson Tide: Series history, all-time record

Wisconsin (2-0) will host No. 4 Alabama (2-0) at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday for its third game of the 2024 campaign. It will be the third all-time meeting between the two programs and their first matchup since 2015.

The Badgers own a 1-1 record against Alabama, though they dropped their most recent meeting 35-17 in 2015. The two teams squared off in Arlington at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Wisconsin was unable to get the ground game going while quarterback Joel Stave compiled 228 passing yards and two touchdowns while throwing an interception in the game. The Crimson Tide were able to lean on future Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry for 148 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 13 carries.

The only other matchup between the two schools came back in 1928 when Wisconsin defeated Alabama 15-0.

Luke Fickell’s squad will likely be challenged downfield in the passing game for the first time this season on Saturday against the Crimson Tide after facing run-heavy opponents Western Michigan and South Dakota in their first two contests of the year.

The Badgers have star power in the secondary with cornerback Ricardo Hallman and safety Hunter Wohler, though it may come down to the surrounding cast’s ability to step up Saturday if the team is going to limit Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe and its passing attack.
