Wisconsin football availability report: Who’s out, questionable vs. Penn State
Penn State’s report lists four players out and four questionable, while safety Omarion Davis is probable for the Big Ten opener.
On Saturday night, the Penn State Nittany Lions suffered a 24-20 upset loss to Wisconsin at Beaver Stadium, prompting their removal from the AP Top 25 rankings on Sunday.
Penn State held leads of 17-0 and 20-10 before Wisconsin rallied late; Badgers quarterback Colton Joseph overcame three interceptions to lead the comeback, with head coach Luke Fickell praising his team's conviction afterward.
Quarterback Rocco Becht completed 12 of 29 passes for 114 yards with one interception, a poor showing he acknowledged after the game: "So I think our experience is going to take over when we get into conference play."
Penn State travels to Chicago on Thursday to face Northwestern on Friday night at the new $900 million Ryan Field, seeking to rebound from the loss.
Nittany Lions head coach Matt Campbell faces mounting pressure as his team prepares for a White Out against USC on Oct. 10 and a road matchup at Michigan on Oct. 17.
