Crimson Tide Floods Camp Randall
Alabama appears to have found its groove offensively, as the Crimson Tide rolled over the Wisconsin Badgers 42-10.
Alabama's offensive line was the storyline heading into the game, with Kadyn Proctor making his season debut on the road, and Elijah Pritchett earning the start at right tackle. That was your tackle duo in the first half for an offensive line that did not give up a sack on quarterback Jalen Milroe.
Speaking of Milroe, it looked like he took several strides in his development throughout the game. On Alabama's opening drive, the offensive line gave Milroe plenty of time to search the defense before finding his check-down option, Emmanuel Henderson Jr., for a 10-yard gain.
Then again, Milroe showed his development in the final drive of the half. Milroe stood in a collapsing pocket to find true freshman Ryan "Hollywood" Williams for a huge 47-yard gain.
On the next play? Milroe drops the ball in a bucket to wide receiver Germie Bernard for a 26-yard touchdown to give Alabama a 21-3 lead heading into halftime.
Wisconsin made it interesting after halftime. The Badgers took a 17-play, 8:14 drive down the field to cut the Crimson TIde's lead to 18.
Alabama's offense gave it right back with a three-and-out, but the defense wasn't having it. Deontae Lawson forces a fumble and Que Robinson recovers on the ensuing drive.
Milroe then extended one of the most impressive streaks in college football.
For the third straight game this season, Milroe has at least two passing and two rushing touchdowns in a game. Alabama extended its lead once again, this time, 35-10.
Alabama took a comfortable lead into the fourth quarter. Wisconsin might have been playing Jump Around, but fans weren't jumping for joy as they watched their team losing by 25.
Alabama was enjoying itself with Jump Around, with Alabama's entire sideline getting hyped with the classic Big 10 tradition.
Stat Leaders
Passing: Jalen Milroe - 12/17, 196 yards, 3 TD
Rushing: Jalen Milroe - 14 attempts, 75 yards, 2 TD
Receiving: Ryan Williams - 4 catches, 78 yards, 1 TD
Defensive: Jihaad Campbell - 8 tackles
Injuries
Alabama did not come away unscathed. Richard Young left the game with a lower-body injury in the second half, Malachi Moore left with an upper-body injury, and Qua Russaw left with a lower-body injury in the first half.
Additionally, Alabama was seen rotating on the right side of the offensive line - with Geno VanDeMark coming in for Jaeden Roberts at right guard, and Wilkin Formby replacing Elijah Pritchett at right tackle. Roberts and Pritchett had been previously banged up with minor injuries.
Tide Takeaways
Alabama will head into the bye week with strong momentum standing at 3-0, having found some offensive line cohesiveness with Elijah Pritchett at right tackle, and Milroe finding his groove with Germie Bernard and Ryan Williams once again. In the run game, Alabama's lead man is Jam Miller, and Jalen Milroe on the quarterback power play.
Alabama has to feel good about its team heading into the middle portion of the season following a win 870 miles away from home.
Assuming Georgia handles its business with Kentucky later today, it sets up a Clash of the Titans between undefeated Alabama and undefeated Georgia next time the Crimson Tide take the field.
Alabama will get some much-needed rest and passed the first test of the season. The next test is likely the biggest one of Kalen DeBoer's young Alabama tenure so far. The Crimson Tide moves on to 3-0 on the season, and 3-0 against the spread this season as well.
And hey, how about Hollywood once again? The true freshman, through three games in his college football career, has totaled 10 catches 285 yards, and four touchdowns.
