coogs35 7 Their defense was awesome, and they showed some capability on offense. There was a lot of Wisconsin hype coming into this season and Penn St went to their house and held them to 10 points.

steelcitygator 7 The defense is great. I don't think it was just bad offenses. The new look O was a better in the second half, taking shots and finding some push on the OL. One of the better wins of the weekend gives PSU a high ranking for now. Skeptical how well they stay up here.

RavenclawWiz816 15 Penn State-Wisconsin was an ugly game though and through, but Penn State closed it out thanks to Badger mistakes. Sean Clifford was fine, I guess, but didn't put to bed any preseason fears about his ability to take Penn State to the next level. I think Penn State is a better team than last year, but don't expect any major jumps into contention.
