The Wisconsin Badgers are back in action on Saturday, as they take on the No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium in Week 4. Kickoff is set for 5:00 p.m. eastern on Peacock.
After two inconsistent performances to start the year, the Badgers finally had a strong all-around game in Week 3, as they beat Eastern Michigan 54-10 behind four touchdowns from Colton Joseph. After trailing 7-0 early, the Badgers poured in 41 unanswered as they dominated on both sides of the ball.
Now, it’s on to Penn State, who has been dominant through three games in largely non-competitive games. The Nittany Lions have beaten Marshall, Temple, and Buffalo in Matt Campbell’s first three games in Happy Valley, so the Badgers are their first step up in competition.
It’ll be the Big Ten opener for both teams, and the environment is expected to be a tough one, given that it’s an evening game at Beaver Stadium.
On the injury front, the Badgers are trending well. Running back Abu Sama, wide receiver Malachi Coleman, linebacker Mason Posa, offensive linemen Emerson Mandell and Kevin Heywood, and tight end Ryan Schwendeman are all probable. Sama, Coleman, Mandell, and Schwendeman all started the week as questionable.
The only current questionable player on the injury report for the Badgers is running back Bryan Jackson. As for Penn State, they’ll be without star receiver Koby Howard for a while after he suffered an injury in Week 3.
Heading into Week 4, the Badgers are 9.5-point underdogs, with the over/under set at 43.5 points.
