Wisconsin-Alabama set for Saturday Night Football on ABC
The Badgers' season-opening showdown with the Crimson Tide in the AdvoCare Classic has been selected as ABC's first Saturday Night Football broadcast of the college football season, the network announced Thursday. The game will kick off at 7 p.m. (CT) on Saturday, Sept. 5 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Alabama finished the season 12-2 overall and ranked No. 4 in the final AP Top 25 after a loss to
eventual national champion Ohio State in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The Badgers finished 11-3 and ranked No. 13 following their defeat of Auburn in the Outback Bowl.
Thursday's announcement gives the Badgers at two prime-time games in 2015, as UW's Sept. 26 matchup with Hawaii at Camp Randall will also kick off at 7 p.m. Wisconsin is 36-29 all-time in night games, including a 6-3 mark on neutral fields.

September 1, 2012: Alabama 41 - Michigan 14 and the game wasn't even as close as the score might indicate. Here you see a couple photos of the "classic wolverine tackling position" in that game:
