TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Ty Simpson threw for 382 yards and four touchdowns, including two to returning star Ryan Williams, and No. 19 Alabama overpowered Wisconsin for the second consecutive year, 38-14 on Saturday. Simpson completed 24 of 29 passes, with two of his misses being drops by Williams and freshman Lotzier Brooks. Williams finished with five receptions for 165 yards after missing last week's game because of a concussion.
Wisconsin quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. is unlikely to play at No. 19. Alabama on Saturday, sources told ESPN. Edwards is expected to travel with the team and plans to warm up for the game, per sources, but he still faces long odds to play this week. Edwards sprained his knee in the opening game against Miami University and is considered week-to-week.
In a town where brats are a local delicacy and there's an entire cheese fridge in the airport gift shop, it's fitting that the Wisconsin offseason has been dedicated to rechanneling its caloric roots.
