Explosive passing game keys Penn State comeback, but will it be enough for playoff bid?
INDIANAPOLIS –- When Wisconsin’s Dare Ogunbowale rumbled into the end zone for a 28-7 lead in the second quarter, it looked like the Big Ten championship game could turn into a rout.
The No. 6 Badgers were dominating in the trenches, and James Franklin was so desperate to generate some offense that he twice went for it on fourth down near midfield in the first half, failing both times. But in a season that itself qualified as a remarkable comeback, the Nittany Lions had one more magical run left, triggered by a lethal passing attack unlike anything this event had ever seen.
