Penn State did exactly what it needed to do by not allowing UW to get into a rhythm on the ground. This Nittany Lions defensive front was able to thwart Wisconsin's rushing attack, allowing just 81 rushing yards on 27 attempts. Tawee Walker was able to cash in for the Badgers' sole touchdown but logged just 59 rushing yards on 22 attempts.

The loss halts the Badgers’ momentum after it entered the contest riding a three-game winning streak. The Nittany Lions were favored in the game and picked by many to win, but the loss still delivers a deflating blow to the Badgers’ rest-of-season outlook.
