Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe shined Saturday as the Crimson Tide made a rare regular-season trip north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Milroe finished the game against the Wisconsin Badgers with three passing touchdowns. He added two more rushing touchdowns as he racked up 75 yards on the ground to help Alabama to a 42-10 victory at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.
“Every time I step on the football field, I feel very fortunate, I'm passionate about this sport,” Milroe said. “Whenever we get a chance to make an explosive play, the important thing is to have fun, to get back to what drives me to play: having fun, having moments like that.”

Saturday marked the first time the Crimson Tide traveled to Madison since a 15-0 loss to Wisconsin in 1928. Wisconsin, meanwhile, suffered its most lopsided home loss since a 48-7 defeat to Penn State in 2008.

“That group was amazing today, just watching them move guys around and create holes for the running back and create a lot of space for the quarterback,” Miller said. “It made the difference. It was great to see what they can do.”

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell said the loss was painful.
“I'll give you guys the same message I just gave you,” Fickell said. “If you've never gotten beat up before, you got beat up. It hurts. It's not easy. But in this game, that's going to happen. It's part of the game. It's horrible. It doesn't mean you didn't work hard. It doesn't mean you didn't prepare. It means you didn't do the job.”
