Here’s your 2024 Wisconsin Badgers schedule and scores
Here’s your 2024 Wisconsin Badgers schedule and scores. Homecoming is Saturday, October 26, against Penn State. The Badgers close out on November 29, against Minnesota.
The Wisconsin Badgers conclude their non-conference schedule today with as big of a matchup as they come in college football.
The 2-0 Badgers play host to 18-time national champion Alabama in a Big Ten-SEC showdown at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m.
It’s the first game in a home-and-home series between the Badgers and Crimson Tide with the return contest next year in Alabama. Wisconsin is coming off a 27-13 win over South Dakota, a team in the Football Championship Subdivision. Now, the Badgers will move up a weight class and then some when fourth-ranked Alabama and Heisman Trophy candidate Jalen Milroe comes to town.
The perennial power looks different this season. For the first time in 18 years, Nick Saban isn’t on the sidelines as the head coach. Saban, who won six national titles with Alabama, retired after last season, ending his legendary career. Kalen DeBoer, who led Washington to the College Football Playoff in 2023, has taken over in Tuscaloosa.
DeBoer has the Tide off and running, though it’s also been a work in progress. After a 63-0 victory in Week 1, Alabama struggled for three quarters against South Florida before pulling away in a 42-16 win last week.
After scratching out wins in tougher-than-expected games the first two weeks, Luke Fickell’s Badgers are a big underdog against Alabama. Can Wisconsin pull off the upset?

It sounds like star offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor, who has some Big Ten history, will be available today for Alabama. Proctor initially committed to Iowa but flipped to Alabama, then transferred back to Alabama.
He’s projected to be one of the top picks in the 2026 NFL draft.
The Badgers are celebrating Ron Dayne’s historic 1999 season in its 25th anniversary today, and Dayne is on hand to soak in the festivities. Dayne, of course, set the NCAA rushing record that year, led his team to the Rose Bowl and came away with the Heisman Trophy.
UW has unveiled a banner atop his name on the Camp Randall facade that reads “7,125” indicating his career yardage. The game notes today make sure to indicate that he’s the all-time rushing leader in NCAA history. That distinction, however, is complicated. The NCAA didn’t count bowl-game stats on season and career numbers until 2002 and has resisted retroactively awarding those stats to players. Thus, Donnel Pumphrey of San Diego State officially holds the record, but he was given bowl-game yardage that Dayne does not get to count (and Pumphrey still barely edges out Dayne for the top spot).
Wisconsin isn’t used to being the underdog at home, but Alabama’s 16.5-point edge on the betting line is unlike anything we’ve seen in Madison since 1991, back before the program had completed its renaissance under Barry Alvarez.
Wisconsin was a 17.5-point underdog against Iowa on Oct. 12, 1991, the last time UW was this big of an underdog at Camp Randall.
A win over No. 4 Alabama would mark the highest-ranked regular-season victory over an SEC team by ANY Big Ten program. Wisconsin beating No. 5 LSU at Lambeau Field in 2016 is the closest any Big Ten program has come to beating a top-four SEC team. Ohio State beat No. 7 LSU in 1988.
Scouts are out in full force to see Alabama, as you might expect, including reps from the Green Bay Packers. it’s a jam-packed box at Camp Randall Stadium and 14 NFL teams are on the list to attend.
Which Alabama players are the top NFL prospects? You can find mock drafts for 2025 that don’t feature any Alabama players at the moment, though guard Tyler Booker. Obviously, they have a boatload of players who will get drafted somewhere, including quarterback Jalen Milroe, center Parker Brailsford, cornerback Domani Jackson, safety Keon Sabb and linebacker Deonte Lawson.
The Badgers injury report is pretty light on surprises, and that’s good news for Wisconsin. Running back Tawee Walker, who was listed as questionable last week but then did not play against South Dakota, is not on the report at all this week. Freshman cornerback Xavier Lucas, one of the most promising true freshmen on the team, left the South Dakota game early with injury but also does not appear on the list.
Wide receiver Quincy Burroughs, who was out last week, also appears to be available today.
The two players who are listed as questionable are tight end Riley Nowakowski and backup right tackle Barrett Nelson. Nowakowski has played in each of the first two games this season and has two catches for 22 yards, both against Western Michigan in Week 1. Nelson has appeared in one game this year.
The players listed as out include Joe Griffin, a transfer receiver who will not play in 2024, freshman linebacker Thomas Heiberger, transfer defensive lineman Leyton Nelson, freshman tight end Rob Booker and veteran defensive lineman James Thompson Jr., who has a long-term injury. None of those names are surprises.
Linebacker Jake Chaney will also be missing in the first half for Wisconsin after he was ejected for targeting last week. USC transfer Tackett Curtis filled in admirably in Chaney’s stead.
