To improve to 3-0 on Saturday, Alabama needs to “clean it up.”
The Crimson Tide are traveling to Wisconsin for their most challenging matchup of the season thus far. They dominated Western Kentucky with a 63-0 victory in their first game but faced difficulties against South Florida, making the 42-16 score appear misleadingly comfortable.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Tide held a narrow 14-13 lead before scoring 28 points in the final period. However, Alabama accumulated 120 yards in penalties and committed three turnovers, prompting a stern message from Mark Ingram.
“Clean it up,” Ingram stated on Friday. “They need to get their act together, man. Thirteen penalties totaling 120 yards wiped out three touchdowns. Before mastering how to win, you must first understand what prevents you from losing.
“Turning the ball over and committing penalties can lead to losses—especially with the tough schedule they face. They had three turnovers last game. I spoke with Coach DeBoer this week, and that has been the main focus all week: taking care of the football on offense and forcing turnovers on defense. This will be a significant challenge for Alabama tomorrow.”
Ingram played at Alabama for three seasons from 2008 to 2010, rushing for 3,261 yards and 42 touchdowns. After spending 12 seasons in the NFL, he is now a college football analyst with Fox.
According to ESPN BET, Alabama is a substantial 16.5-point favorite on the road against Wisconsin.
