Where to watch Penn State vs. Wisconsin – Big Ten on Saturday night

In the middle of the college football season, being undefeated becomes really important as a badge of honor. Of course, you can win three or four games without a single loss, but getting into a half-dozen or more really counts toward playoff placement, which explains why there are so few undefeated teams in college football this season .

One such team is the Penn State Nittany Lions. After six games, the team is one of just three undefeated teams in the Big Ten, including Oregon and Indiana, and they have been good enough to be considered the No. 3 AP team in the country this week. So what’s next on their agenda? A Big Ten Saturday night Travel to Madison, where the Wisconsin Badgers hope to make a stand in the middle of the conference’s hot streak.

What to expect from Penn State vs. Wisconsin Big Ten Saturday night

Obviously, Penn State is the clear favorite in this game. They’re ranked No. 3 in the country, they’re undefeated and coming off a bye week, meaning they’ve had plenty of time to rest and study their opponents for this week’s match. Behind quarterback Drew Allar, who has nearly 1,500 yards passing in six games so far, the Nittany Lions look strong and very tough to beat, especially after a tough overtime win against USC two weeks ago. This win and a decisive win over a very strong Illinois team put the Nittany Lions in clear contention for the Big Ten title and a shot at a national championship. They just have to keep going, and as long as Allar keeps turning over 300 yards in passing games, they feel like they can.

But may is the key word there. We’ve now figured out that pretty much everyone is beatable this season and Wisconsin comes into the game on a hot streak. They have won their last three games and their only two losses came early in the season against USC and a very strong Alabama team. They have also won their last three games by wide margins, including a 52-6 win over Purdue early in their October games. Their defense has been extremely impressive during this stretch, holding their opponents to a total of 16 points over the last three weeks. It could be a winning streak, or it could mean Wisconsin is dialed in, figuring out its game and ready to make a big performance against Penn State. We’ll see further Big Ten Saturday night!
