Luke Fickell remembers what happened last year when Wisconsin hosted Alabama and had to throw in a backup quarterback. It was an absolute thrubbing 42-10 as the No. 4-ranked Crimson Tide mopped the field with the Badgers. He knows what the team is getting into this week, but are they more ready? Luke Fickell was very blunt after the Middle Tennessee game, "At this moment, right now? No."
While he explained it was because of how poorly they played in the first half, he alludes to the preparation that will need to go into this week.
