Happy game day, Penn State fans! The No. 3 Nittany Lions have put their bye week in the rearview mirror and are now ready to kickoff a six-game stretch to close out the regular season today at Wisconsin. The Badgers (5-2) are winners of three straight contests while head coach James Franklin’s side looks to win its second consecutive road contest and third of the season.

“Both of us are playing really good football right now,” Franklin said on the Penn State Coaches Show. “They’ve won their last three games and played really well. I think they’ve really formed an identity over the last three weeks as a team and are playing well. With that comes a lot of confidence. And I think for us, going into that stadium, it’s going 6:30 local kick in a tough place to play, Camp Randall.”
