Alabama football plays its first Power Four opponent of the 2024 season Saturday. The Crimson Tide visits Wisconsin, facing off with a Big Ten team that beat South Dakota last week in its final tune-up.

The Tide turned in an ugly performance on Saturday, adding touchdowns late in the fourth quarter to escape the South Florida game with a 42-16 victory. That made the second year in a row where the Bulls have scared UA.

As Alabama begins work for Saturday’s game at Camp Randall, head coach Kalen DeBoer, along with defensive coordinator Kane Wommack and offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan are set to speak with reporters in Tuscaloosa. The press conference is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. CT.
