Key questions heading into Alabama vs. Wisconsin

After dismantling Louisiana-Monroe last week, No. 19 Alabama’s get-right tour is set to continue this week when it hosts Wisconsin at 11 a.m. CT inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. 

The Badgers shouldn’t be in line for the same beatdown the Crimson Tide doled out over the weekend. That being said, Alabama (1-1) made easy work of Wisconsin (2-0) with a 42-10 win inside Camp Randall last season and enters this week’s matchup as a 20.5-point favorite. 

Following an embarrassing defeat at Florida State in the season opener, Alabama answered several of its points of emphasis against ULM. Still, there are a few things we’re looking to see from the Tide before it opens up SEC play.  

Here are five questions we have heading into this weekend’s matchup. 

How much will Alabama use its injured starters? 

Kalen DeBoer doled out a few positive injury reports during Wednesday’s SEC teleconference. 

According to the head coach, star wide receiver Ryan Williams is expected to play this week after sitting out the win over ULM while recovering from a concussion he suffered in the season opener. Meanwhile, running back Jamarion Miller (shoulder) and defensive tackle Tim Keenan III (ankle) are possibilities to make their season debuts against Wisconsin.
