This week’s matchup between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Wisconsin Badgers is the best game on this Saturday’s college football slate. It’s rare for a top SEC team to take the trip north to play a true road game in Big Ten country and the contest represents some unique challenges. Like the neck of Wisconsin safety Hunter Wohler.
Wohler appeared on Big Ten Network for an interview previewing Saturday’s showdown that will be Fox’s centerpiece for the day on Big Noon Saturday and talked about the excitement of Alabama’s visit and the showcase game being one of the reasons why he wanted to play ball at Wisconsin.

But instead of breaking down the X’s and O’s or how Wohler and the Badgers defense will slow down Jalen Milroe and the Tide, all anyone was focused on was how mesmerizingly large his neck was and just how someone could get a neck that size to where it looks like someone put a human skull on a redwood tree.

Of course, Wohler is a Wisconsin native, which makes all the sense in the world. Alabama may not have to deal with the wintery elements going north for a game in mid-September, but they do have to deal with a team full of players that have never skipped neck day and appear to have classic neck rolls of iconic players of yesteryear somehow built into their bodies.
