Indeed, Wisconsin has improved in the past month. The Badgers have a distinct identity and are 5-2.
With its quickly improving defense, Luke Fickell’s team hopes to minimize big plays and third-down conversions while slamming opponents in the mouth on offense.
However, no team as complete as undefeated Penn State has ever played in Wisconsin.
The 6-0 James Franklin Nittany Lions are strong in each of the three phases.
The PSU offense now has balance and creativity according to new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. Also, who will cover tight end for the Badgers defense?Tyler Warren?
Abdul Carter and Dani Dennis-Sutton are edge rushers that Wisconsin quarterback Braedyn Locke and the Badgers’ offensive tackles will find difficult to handle.
Although PSU is only giving up an average of 95 yards on the ground, a strong Wisconsin ground attack might relieve Locke of a lot of pressure.
The Badgers are menacing and self-assured.
However, Penn State is just superior.
The Lions were 6.5 points up on FanDuel as of late Thursday afternoon.
They’ll win by twice that amount.
Penn State, call it a 26-13 game.
