It’s uncommon for Alabama to leave the South for a non-conference game, but Wisconsin was able to work out the home-and-home series. Even though those games are still several years out, they’ll be highly-anticipated matchups.
Wisconsin and Alabama have played two times, with the all-time series tied at 1-1. Wisconsin’s victory came in 1928 in Madison. Alabama won the 2015 game in Arlington, Texas 35-17.
