Wisconsin · Penn StatePenn State 's cushy non-conference slate has ended. Now it's time to find out if first-year coach Matt Campbell's Nittany Lions have staying power in the College Football Playoff race.
None of those teams hail from power conferences, though, so it's hard to read too far into the wins. Required reading: 3 Penn State takeaways: Can Nittany Lions continue trends in Big Ten play?
The Lions dropped each of their first six Big Ten games last season after a similarly impressive 3-0 start. That led to the firing of former coach James Franklin after his team was ranked in the top five nationally in the preseason.
They'll look to avoid that kind of outcome with a favorable matchup against a Wisconsin team that has had trouble putting points on the scoreboard since the start of 2025. The Badgers averaged just nine points per game in Big Ten play a year ago and managed just a baker's dozen in a 41-13 loss to Notre Dame on Sept. 6.
