) - The first road trip of the Kalen DeBoer era is here for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Badgers, who are receiving votes in the latest AP Top 25, are coming off a 27-13 win over South Dakota. This is the third ever meeting between the Crimson Tide and Badgers. The most recent matchup was on September 15, 2015, when Alabama beat Wisconsin, 35-17. Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer met with the media on Monday to preview the Wisconsin game. Among many topics, DeBoer addressed quarterback Jalen Milroe’s progress in the new system and the challenges Alabama will face in a tough road environment.DeBoer says he’s seen improvement in Milroe’s decisions to either run or throw the ball.
“We want those options because he can do it with his arms or his legs. The throw and the touchdown to Ryan Williams...the opportunity to just rip it out there. That’s something I think when we first started in spring ball and I think saw it in fall camp where he was getting more comfortable. It’s not just confidence in yourself, it’s confidence in guys around you,” said DeBoer.
“You know it’s going to be a great atmosphere up there. It’s one that I think when you’re preparing to go play those games...and, of course, we’ll have that many times with the SEC schedule too. That hostile environment, taking it on and knowing that it’s kind of you vs. everyone there. I think our guys are looking forward to the challenge. Improving on this last week and knowing that we are going to have to,” DeBoer said.
