Overview

• Coach Kalen DeBoer said several starters are day-to-day, including WR Ryan Williams, and he is optimistic RB Jam Miller could play, with DL Tim Keenan III and Jah‑Marien Latham also being monitored and Jeremiah Beaman out for the season.
• Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack acknowledged Alabama still has zero sacks through two games and said scheme and finishing must improve despite 12 tackles for loss in the ULM shutout.
• QB Ty Simpson followed a shaky opener by going 17-for-17 for 226 yards and four total touchdowns, and OC Ryan Grubb credited sharper decision‑making and a preplanned first‑half series for Austin Mack to heighten competition.
• Alabama is a heavy favorite over 2-0 Wisconsin, with kickoff set for 11 a.m. CT on ABC in Tuscaloosa, as the Badgers return to a more run‑based attack under new OC Jeff Grimes after wins over Miami (Ohio) and Middle Tennessee.
• ESPN’s FPI lists Alabama with the No. 8 toughest remaining schedule, and the Wisconsin matchup is being framed as an early barometer for the Tide’s playoff trajectory.
