No. 19 Alabama Handles Wisconsin 38-14 Behind Simpson-Williams Surge

Defensive takeaways plus a revived pass rush punctuated the breakout before a bye that precedes a Sept. 27 trip to Georgia.

Overview

  • Ty Simpson completed 24 of 29 passes for 382 yards and four touchdowns, delivering his second straight highly efficient outing.
  • Ryan Williams returned from a concussion to post five catches for 165 yards, including a 75-yard trick-play score on the first snap of the second half and a 41-yard touchdown.
  • Safety Bray Hubbard intercepted two passes as Alabama held Wisconsin to 209 total yards and recorded four sacks.
  • A 95-yard kickoff return by Wisconsin and a sputtering run game underscored lingering issues Alabama said it must fix, including finishing late and run-block execution.
  • Defensive end LT Overton exited in the third quarter with an undisclosed injury and did not return; Alabama moves to 2-1 entering a bye before visiting Georgia on Sept. 27 (6:30 p.m. CT, ABC).
