After a scoreless first half between Penn State and Wisconsin, the Nittany Lions came out with a brilliant offensive series on their first trip to the field in Madison. It took a while, but Jahan Dotson’s first big catch of the season was a big one that broke the scoreless tie between the two Big Ten programs.
Sean Clifford had a rough first half but he unloaded to a wide-open Dotson for a 49-yard touchdown. There was never a doubt.
Clifford had attempted a deep pass down the middle of the field in the first half to Dotson, but the pass was overthrown a few yards ahead of a streaking Dotson. But when you have a quarterback with a big arm and one of the Big Ten’s best wide receivers, it’s wise to give it another shot later on.
Penn State’s defense continues to take care of business on their end of things, but if the offense can build off this inspiring drive, the pressure could come off the defense a little bit.
