WATCH: Alabama star Tyler Booker’s GF Kalani shows off Gameday festivities during Wisconsin showdown
Tyler Booker had an amazing game on the field as the Alabama Crimson Tide cruised to a 32-10 victory against the Wisconsin Badgers earlier today. Alabama is 3-for-3 this season and has started the post-Nick Saban era in grand style.
While Booker, the offensive lineman, was protecting Jalen Milroe on the field, his girlfriend, Kalani, was having fun off the field. She posted a story on Instagram while enjoying drinks with her friends. Kalani captioned her post:
"game dayyyyyyy🏈"
Alabama had a regular field day rounding up the Badgers without breaking much sweat. For now, the well-oiled-looking Alabama, under new coach Kalen DeBoer, is doing wonders.
However, his first big test awaits. After a bye week, on September 29, the Crimson Tide will go head-to-head with the Georgia Bulldogs at the Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Tyler Booker called upon Alabama teammates before the Wisconsin game
The 20-year-old defensive lineman has stepped up as Alabama's vocal leader lately. He was at the forefront when the Crimson Tide exited the tunnel at Camp Randall Stadium earlier today. However, Booker was ready for the game much before that.
After their sloppy 42-16 victory over South Florida, Booker had a clear message for his offensive line:
"Flush it and move on."
It was a rough day for Alabama, with 13 penalties for 120 yards, including eight from the O-line. Not taking anything for an excuse, Booker called on his teammates to refocus before the Wisconsin game.
“There’s nothing we can do about Saturday now. What we can control is how we perform this coming Saturday.”
The words from Tyler Booker rang through the locker room. Coming into the Wisconsin game, the Alabama DL was forced to play left tackle due to injuries. He embraced the challenge head-on, saying:
"I played left tackle in high school. Obviously, a lot different playing in front of 100 to 100,000 (fans), but I am a ball player. You can put me guard, tackle, receiver, wherever you need me. I'm going to play ball, and I'm going to do it to the best of my ability."
His leadership and versatility will help Alabama late in the season if injuries continue cropping up for DeBoer’s squad.
