Will the Penn State be on the field today in Week 9 of the college football schedule? You bet they are!
Penn State is back in action this week after getting a week off following its thrilling road win at USC two weeks ago. Penn State faces another challenge in Big Ten play on Saturday when it visits Wisconsin for a primetime matchup in Camp Randal Stadium.
Penn State came from behind with a big second-half performance and a record day from tight end Tyler Warren to beat USC in overtime. Slow starts have been popping up for Penn State this season, and they will hope to overcome that Saturday night against a Wisconsin team that has been dominant in recent weeks against lower-tier competition.
This is the start of a key three-game stretch for Penn State. Ranked third in the national polls coming into the week, and likely firmly in a College Football Playoff position, the Nittany Lions travel to a tough environment Saturday night at Wisconsin and then host Ohio State next week. Following that is a home game against new Big Ten member Washington before the schedule likely gets much easier to close out the season, although it would be unwise to look past an upcoming road trip to Minnesota. Just ask USC.
Here is a look at Penn State’s remaining schedule, beginning with Saturday night’s showdown in Madison, Wisconsin.
