The Alabama Crimson Tide is set for another home game this weekend, which many have dismissed as a win already before it starts.

With the Wisconsin Badgers headed to Bryant-Denny Stadium for the second leg of a home-and-home, the prevailing thought from the fanbase — and from Las Vegas — is that this should be another relatively easy Alabama victory.

The Tide after after all did go into Wisconsin’s building last year and defeat the Badgers by a score of 42-10, and this time around, it’s in Tuscaloosa. Nothing has been too safe over the last couple of years, and the team should be on as high alert as ever especially after what happened in week one.

Alabama radio broadcaster Chris Stewart during an appearance with Roger Hoover on Crimson Drive, driven by NASCAR talked about the upcoming opponent and warned the Tide to be taking Wisconsin seriously.

“Wisconsin is not the best in the Big 10, they weren’t last year, and they’re not gonna be this year,” Stewart began. “They’re not the best version of what we’ve seen of Wisconsin in the last decade. But they are still Wisconsin, they are still a Big 10 team, they are talented and capable enough of creating some real problems if Alabama doesn’t handle their own business…The sincere hope is that you continue to build off what you did against ULM with a similar effort and performance against the Badgers, then you go get healed up, sharpened, and even better prepared to play a Georgia team that we know at their place will be very difficult.”

The Badgers have not been a real factor in the Big 10 for the last several years, but there is no question there’s enough talent in that locker room to compete with Alabama. Stewart is spot on, and the Tide must prepare for the challenge, because if they don’t, they will be in for a rude awakening.
