The game of 1,000 Twitter quips, as two upper-echelon-but-not-Ohio-State teams squared off at Camp Randall Stadium. The Badgers must have left this game full of regret in how they let this one slip away. Wisconsin ran an astounding 95 offensive plays compared to 51 for Penn State, and in time of possession they held a 42-to-18 minute edge over the Nittany Lions. A low-scoring grudge match during which the Wisco offense has the ball for over two-thirds of the game script this program traditionally follows to victory.
However, red zone incompetence via an untimely interception, a miscue on a routine handoff and a blocked field goal allowed the boom-bust nature off Penn State’s offense to win the day 16-10.
