University of Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe was in action Saturday as the Crimson Tide made a rare regular-season trip north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Milroe finished with three passing touchdowns against the Wisconsin Badgers and also ran for 75 yards, helping Alabama to a 42-10 victory Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
“Every time I step on the football field, I just feel so blessed and so passionate about the game of football,” Milroe said. “Anytime I have an opportunity to make an explosive play, it's all about just having fun, going back to why I play the game, which is just having fun and having those moments.”

Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was forced to leave the game early due to an injury, which occurred after he was tackled during a scramble.
Van Dyke finished his run, clutching his right knee and eventually being carried to the locker room, where he watched the second half from the Wisconsin sideline but was aided by crutches.

Saturday marked the Crimson Tide's first trip to Madison since a 15-0 loss to Wisconsin in 1928. Wisconsin, meanwhile, suffered its most lopsided home defeat since 2008, when it lost to Penn State, 48-7.

“Our team was great today. You saw them moving guys, opening holes for the running backs, creating big pockets for the quarterbacks,” Miller said. “It made a difference. It was good to see what they're capable of.”

Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said the loss hurt.
“I'm just going to give you the same message I gave you before,” Fickell said. “If you haven't been spanked before, you're spanked now. It hurts. It's not easy. But these things happen in this game. It's part of the game. It sucks. It's not because we didn't practice hard. It's not because we didn't prepare. It's because we didn't get the job done.”
