MADISON, WI (WSAU) – The University of Wisconsin will be under the spotlight on Saturday as the Alabama Crimson Tide, the 4th-ranked team in the nation, comes to town looking to show the College Football Playoff Committee why they’re for real this season.
Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt will share a booth with announcer Gus Johnson for the big game and spoke about how Wisconsin can pull off the upset during his show, ‘The Joel Klatt Show,’ on Friday, saying, “I do think Wisconsin can play really well on that defensive side. The biggest question for me is that Wisconsin is going to have to control the line of scrimmage. Because they can’t just allow that defense to be on the field against Ryan Williams and Jalen Milroe and company for the entirety of the game.”
“They’ve got to win the time of possession, so it becomes an offensive line battle for Wisconsin. Can they hold up against that defense? I don’t know; we’ll see. I thought Alabama’s defense was okay against South Florida; I didn’t feel like they were great. And we’ll see how they play,” Klatt continued.
Wisconsin’s chances of winning dropped from 18.7% in the preseason to 7.8%, according to FPI and ESPN Analytics, while Alabama’s current odds of winning are 92.2%.
