Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe shined Saturday as the Crimson Tide made a rare regular-season trip north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Milroe finished the game against the Wisconsin Badgers with three passing touchdowns. He added two more rushing touchdowns and rushed for 75 yards to help Alabama to a 42-10 victory at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.
“Every time I step on the football field, I’m really happy and passionate about the game,” Milroe said. “Every time we get a chance to make an explosive play, it’s just about having fun, getting back to why I play football: just to have fun, to have moments like that.”

Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was forced to leave the game early with an injury. He was injured after being tackled during a scrimmage.
Van Dyke clutched his right knee late in the race and was eventually carted to the locker room. He watched the second half from the Wisconsin sideline but needed the assistance of crutches.

Saturday marked the first time the Crimson Tide visited Madison since a 15-0 loss to Wisconsin in 1928. Wisconsin, meanwhile, suffered its most lopsided home loss since a 48-7 defeat to Penn State in 2008.

“This group was unbelievable today, just seeing them move guys around and create holes for the running back and make a big pocket for the quarterback,” Miller said. “It made a difference. It was awesome to see what they can do.”

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell said the crushing loss was painful.
“I’m going to give you the same message I just gave them,” Fickell said. “If you’ve never been kicked in the butt, you have. It hurts. It’s not easy. But in this game, it’s going to happen. It’s part of the game. It sucks. It doesn’t mean you didn’t work hard. It doesn’t mean you didn’t prepare. It means you didn’t do the work.”
