No. 3 Penn State Faces Wisconsin Badgers

No. 3 Penn State (6-0) faces a challenging matchup against Wisconsin (5-2) at Camp Randall Stadium, where the Badgers are coming off three dominant victories. Wisconsin's quarterback Braedyn Locke, who has shown improvement, leads an offense that scored 117 points in the last three games, raising concerns for Penn State's defense. The Nittany Lions, aiming for their first 7-0 start since 2019, must avoid a slow start against a hostile crowd and capitalize on their preparation after a bye week. Coach James Franklin acknowledges Wisconsin's recent strong performances, but Penn State has historically dominated this matchup, winning the last five meetings. The stakes are high, as Wisconsin seeks its first victory over a Top 25 team under coach Luke Fickell. With both teams looking to solidify their standing in the Big Ten, this game promises to be competitive and pivotal for their seasons.
