Wisconsin had serious trouble stopping Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe on Saturday. The redshirt junior threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more. Afterward, the Badger head coach fielded a question about what makes Milroe so difficult to defend.

Fickell’s defense allowed over 400 total yards to Alabama, and it allowed Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe to go wild with his arm and legs. Milroe had 3 touchdown passes without an interception, and he added 75 yards rushing and 2 more scores on the ground.

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell told reporters that he shared a clear message to his team after it suffered a 42-10 blowout loss to No. 4 Alabama on Saturday: “If you haven’t had your ass whooped before, you just did,” Fickell explained. “It’s a good old-fashioned ass-whooping, at home, which hurts.”
