The Alabama Crimson Tide earned an impressive home win over the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday, defeating them 38-14 behind standout performances from quarterback Ty Simpson and wide receiver Ryan Williams.
Improving to 2-1 on the season, Simpson completed 24-of-29 passes for 382 yards and four touchdowns. Williams hauled in five receptions for 165 yards and two scores. Germie Bernard contributed both a rushing and receiving touchdown, while Isaiah Horton added another score.
Fans praised head coach Kalen DeBoer and the team for a dominant showing that handed Wisconsin a decisive loss.
Alabama struck first, capping an 11-play drive late in the first quarter with a 2-yard touchdown run by Bernard to take a 7-0 lead. The Crimson Tide kept the Badgers off the scoreboard in the second quarter and added two more touchdowns—first on a 43-yard pass from Simpson to Bernard, then on a 13-yard connection to Horton—giving Alabama a 21-0 lead at halftime.
The momentum carried into the second half, as Simpson hit Williams for a 75-yard touchdown on the opening drive to extend the lead to 28-0. However, a mental mistake on the ensuing kickoff—a short kick set up by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty—allowed Wisconsin’s Cinny Anthony II to return it 95 yards for a touchdown.
Alabama quickly answered with another touchdown, a 41-yard strike to Williams, and followed it with a defensive highlight: an interception by Bray Hubbard. The Tide opened the fourth quarter with a field goal to push the lead to 38-7, before the offense slowed down.
Wisconsin added a late touchdown to cut the deficit to 38-14, but Alabama’s early dominance had already put the game out of reach.
Alabama heads into a bye week before facing a tough Georgia Bulldogs team on the road on Sept. 27.
