Penn State:
The No. 3 Nittany Lions are 6-0 for the second straight season, they are the only team in the FBS to achieve that feat in each of the last two years but despite their success—which includes 74 wins in the last 7 seasons—Penn State has never made a College Football Playoff appearance. Head coach James Franklin looks to change that in his 11th season at the helm.
If Penn State wins out the conference they are likely to make the Big Ten Championship Game, however, with the new 12-team playoff format, they could earn a spot even without winning the conference.
The Nittany Lions are coming off a bye but pulled off a come-from-behind 33-30 win against USC 2 weeks prior. Junior QB Drew Allar finished with a career-high 391 passing yards, while senior TE Tyler Warren had 17 receptions—tying the single-game FBS record for a tight end—along with 224 yards, and a touchdown. Warren has demonstrated his versatility all season, he is the only player in the conference this season with a passing, receiving, and rushing touchdown.

Wisconsin:
The Badgers enter Saturday’s match up on a three-game win streak, having outscored their last three opponents—Northwestern, Rutgers, and Purdue, all Big Ten schools—117-16. A win against No. 3 Penn State puts them one step closer to the Big Ten Championship game.
Wisconsin is in its second season under head coach Luke Fickell and offensive coordinator Phil Longo, known for his Air Raid offense. However, the Badgers’ run game remains one of the team’s strengths. Senior RB Tawee Walker, who transferred to Wisconsin from Oklahoma last December, has been a key player for the Badgers with 565 rush yards and 9 touchdowns this season. Walker is on pace to reach 1,000 yards this season.
