Overview

• During his ESPN College GameDay interview in Knoxville, Tennessee fans mocked Kalen DeBoer with Florida State’s war chant, referencing Alabama’s 31-17 Week 1 defeat.
• DeBoer said the Alabama role operates on a larger scale and called the scrutiny a "punch or be punched" challenge that energizes him.
• No. 19 Alabama responded with a 38-14 win over Wisconsin as Ty Simpson went 24 of 29 for 389 yards and five touchdowns, including a 75-yard screen to Ryan Williams.
• Since the opener, the Crimson Tide have outscored opponents 111-14, with safety Bray Hubbard recording two interceptions as the defense kept Wisconsin quiet until late.
• With a bye ahead, DeBoer’s message to the team was "Don’t let off the gas," with Georgia next on the schedule.
