Well look who decided to get good at college football again?
Shock of shocks, Wisconsin started pounding away with the running game, it won three games it was supposed to win, and now it’s 5-2 – 3-1 in the conference – and will be deep in the Big Ten race.
However, lose, and with at Iowa, Oregon, and at Nebraska up next before closing against Minnesota, there will be a problem.
Penn State isn’t exactly a quiet 6-0 – it’s No. 3 in the rankings – but it hasn’t done much of anything to look like it’s about to be special. It was fine in the 21-7 win over Illinois, survived USC, and that’s been about it.
There’s this landmine to sidestep, and then Ohio State comes to Happy Valley.

Why Penn State Will Win
This might not be a sensational team, but it’s strong in every area. The offense is solid – it’s third in the Big Ten and tenth in the nation.
The defense is great – it’s third in the Big Ten and sixth in the nation. Penalties aren’t a problem, turnovers aren’t an issue, and the team is finding ways to adapt to rhythms of each game.
But it starts with this – the run defense is outstanding.
