The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on one of their toughest opponents of the year in the No. 19-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. It was a home-and-home that was put on the calendar years ago, and last season in Madison, the Badgers were embarrassed out of Camp Randall and reeling from the loss of their starting quarterback. Now they head to Bryant-Denny Stadium in the hopes of pulling off the biggest upset of Luke Fickell's Wisconsin career.

In 2015, it was the first modern contest, and Derrick Henry was the running back for the Crimson Tide. It didn't go well. The Badgers lost 35-17. Finally, the game last year, which really shouldn't be mentioned as it's a pretty fresh wound, but the final score was 42-10 in Alabama's favor.

Who are the announcers for Wisconsin vs. Alabama?
The game will be a crew of ABC announcers with Joe Tessitore as the play-by-play, Jesse Palmer as the color analyst, and Katie George as the sideline reporter. If you are a superstitious person, this is the same crew that called the Florida State upset of Alabama.
