MADISON — Following 651 days without fans populating the stands of Camp Randall Stadium, the No. 12 Wisconsin Badgers (0-1 overall, 0-1 Big Ten), welcomed 76,832 fans and the No. 19 Penn State Nittany Lions (1-0 overall, 1-0 Big Ten) into their home stadium. However, Wisconsin could not give the fans the return they had hoped for, dropping the season opener, 16-10.
“That part was awesome (fans being back in the stands), I feel bad that we didn’t do more for them, it was special,” said head coach Paul Chryst.

It was a game that was back and forth between Wisconsin and Penn State and both teams failed to score in the first half, despite Wisconsin mounting two drives that ended in the red zone.
