Wisconsin fell to No. 3 Penn State 28-13 on Saturday.
The loss halts the Badgers’ momentum after it entered the contest riding a three-game winning streak. The Nittany Lions were favored in the game and picked by many to win, but the loss still delivers a deflating blow to the Badgers’ rest-of-season outlook.

Saturday will feel like a significant missed opportunity for a Wisconsin program badly in need of a signature win to kickstart the Luke Fickell era.
The Badgers are now 0-5 against ranked opponents since Fickell took over in 2023. That mark tells the story.
