Wisconsin badgers suffered a ugly defeat of 38-14 against Tide Crimson n ° 19 of Alabama on Saturday, starting slowly and never recovering in the eruption.
It was a high task for badgers, who came on the road against an opponent who was simply more talented. This did not help that the Wisconsin treated penalties, reversals and difficulties at third, killing their momentum in the first half.

The badgers dragged 21-0 at halftime, and the damage continued in the second half, while Alabama marked during the first game of the scrum in the third quarter. The Crimson Tide finally stacked five consecutive touching trips and would have had a sixth without a drop in the goal area.
In the end, they lost 38-14, marking their seventh consecutive defeat against an opponent classified under the head coach Luke Fickell.
These are games like Saturday that have haunted badgers in the past three years; They had a hard time winning the big match. Last year, close defeats against Penn State and Oregon at home proved a killer, while Wisconsin underwent eruptions in Alabama and USC on the road.
Now, during their first match against an opponent classified this season, the badgers could not reverse the trend, falling at 0-7 against opponents classified in the last three years.

The Wisconsin will have a lot of additional possibilities to win this big match this year. They still have matches against Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana and Illinois, which are all currently classified. In fact, Ohio State, Oregon and Illinois are all 10 teams at the moment.
Currently, they are not ready for this level of competition with their teams responsible for young people. And it is difficult to see the badgers win one of these matches after the eruption on Saturday. But hope is that development can continue during the season, where Wisconsin can break into some of its big games to reach a bowl match this year.
