It was an early-season Big Ten slugfest. And in the end, it was No. 16 Penn State that outlasted No. 12 Wisconsin, 16-10, in a dramatic finish.
It came down to two defensive stands from the Nittany Lions. The first was a goal line stand.
Penn State took the lead with 9:17 to play, but a missed extra point from Jordan Stout loomed large as the Nittany Lions’ lead was 16-10, not 17-10.
On the ensuing possession, Wisconsin drove deep into Penn State territory. How deep? The Badgers had first-and-goal from the PSU 1-yard line following a fantastic third-down catch from Danny Davis on the previous play.
