The Nittany Lions will likely enter the game as the No. 3 team in the country after defeating USC this past weekend, improving to 6-0 on the season. In the latest polls ahead of Week 8 of the college football season, the Nittany Lions are ranked behind only No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Oregon.
Wisconsin was written off by some after back-to-back losses to Alabama and USC but has won their last two games in impressive fashion, defeating Purdue 52-6 and Rutgers 42-7 over the last two weeks. This weekend, the Badgers, now 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in conference play, will take on the 3-3 Northwestern Wildcats.
The October 26 matchup at Camp Randall will be the 21st meeting between Penn State and Wisconsin. The Nittany Lions are 11-9 all-time and have won each of their last five games against the Badgers, including 3-0 under head coach James Franklin.
