A trip to Pasadena and maybe more is on the line for the No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers as they face the No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions for the Big Ten championship Saturday night in Indianapolis.
UW (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) reeled off six straight wins and captured the Big Ten West division title behind a reemerged rushing attack, a stingy front seven on defense and a nation-leading 21 interceptions by Justin Wilcox’s squad.
After a 2-2 start, Penn State (10-2, 8-1) has won eight straight with an improved rush defense and a dynamic offense led by the conference’s leader in pass efficiency.
