Wisconsin (2-1) at No. 13 Penn State (3-0) — Game Preview
No. 13 Penn State puts its 3-0 start on the line at Beaver Stadium against a Wisconsin team that arrives at 2-1. Penn State enters as the ranked Big Ten side with a perfect record to protect, while the unranked Badgers get a chance to reshape their season with a road result in University Park. Rocco Becht has been the engine of the home offense, completing 45 of 64 passes for 751 yards and 9 touchdowns.
Across the field Colton Joseph has thrown more often for nearly the same yardage, going 54 of 85 for 752 yards with 5 touchdowns against 2 interceptions, which puts a premium on how cleanly he handles a hostile crowd. The ground games look similar on paper, with Carson Hansen at 169 yards on 35 carries for Penn State and Abu Sama III at 156 yards on 23 carries for Wisconsin. On defense, linebacker Sebastian Cheeks brings 2 sacks for the Badgers and will be looking to speed up Becht’s clock.

Players to Watch: Wisconsin Badgers vs. Penn State Nittany Lions
Wisconsin Badgers
Colton Joseph — QB. So far he has completed 54 of 85 attempts for 752 yards and 5 touchdowns. The 2 interceptions are the number to watch in a road environment like Beaver Stadium.
Abu Sama III — RB. The Badgers running back has turned 23 carries into 156 yards and 1 touchdown. Leaning on him early would give Joseph manageable downs against a ranked defense.
Sebastian Cheeks — LB. With 2 sacks on his ledger, Cheeks gives Wisconsin a real threat to disrupt the Penn State passing game. His pressure could decide whether Becht stays comfortable in the pocket.
Penn State Nittany Lions
Rocco Becht — QB. Efficiency defines his start, as he has gone 45 of 64 for 751 yards and 9 touchdowns. Keeping that ratio intact against a Wisconsin front with a proven pass rusher is the task in front of him.
Carson Hansen — RB. Handling 35 carries so far, Hansen has produced 169 yards and 1 touchdown. A steady ground game keeps the Badgers from teeing off on Becht.
Tony Rojas — LB. The Nittany Lions linebacker has 1 sack and figures to spend plenty of the afternoon near Joseph. Forcing a hurried throw or two would test the Wisconsin quarterback’s ball security.
