5 things to watch in Saturday’s Penn State-Wisconsin game

The No. 20 Nittany Lions (6-3) take on Wisconsin (6-3) at noon Saturday in Happy Valley. Here are five things you should keep an eye on.

First-down Dotson

James Franklin joked that Penn State’s passers should throw the ball more to true freshman Jahan Dotson. “First downs are good,” the coach said with half-smile. First downs are good — and Dotson has provided them to a sputtering offense.

Dotson, who debuted at Indiana three weeks ago, has five catches. All of them have gone for first downs. He snagged one in Bloomington, two against Iowa and a pair last weekend at The Big House.
