GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Jonathan Taylor vs. Penn State’s defense: Depending on if quarterback Alex Hornibrook can play, this represents Wisconsin’s best bet to score some points and keep Penn State’s offense off the field. First and foremost, Taylor has to be able to hold on the ball, as Penn State’s defenders surely will try and poke the ball out of his hands. A big game from Taylor can help restore Wisconsin’s confidence.
DRAFT SLANT
–OL Beau Benzschawel remains a projected first-round draft selection despite an up-and-down season that can be partly associated with the issues at quarterback for the Badgers.
ROSTER REPORT:
–QB Alex Hornibrook is questionable for the Penn State game with a concussion.
–TE Jake Ferguson is probable to play but missed Tuesday’s practice.
–S Scott Nelson is questionable with a right leg injury.
–CB Travian Blaylock is probable with a right leg injury.
–NT Olive Sagapolu is out with a left leg injury.
