Wisconsin vs Penn State Pick
Wisconsinβs offense looked impressive against Eastern Michigan, but Penn State presents a much greater challenge. The Nittany Lions should pressure Joseph and prevent Henry from consistently creating explosive plays downfield. Becht has been extremely efficient, throwing 9 touchdowns without an interception while distributing the football throughout the offense. Penn State also has several productive running backs capable of keeping Wisconsinβs defense on the field. Look for the Nittany Lions to create separation during the second half and cover the home spread. Both offenses have enough playmakers to send the matchup over the total.
