The Wisconsin Badgers dropped a tough 28-13 game to the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, falling to 5-3 on the season and 3-2 in conference play.

It was one of Wisconsin’s biggest tests in the secondary, as the Nittany Lions came into the game with hype as the No. 3 team in the nation. Wisconsin had faced top-15 teams before, but they weren't that competitive in those outings, losing to Alabama by 32 and USC by 17.

However, Penn State struggled early due to a tough Wisconsin defense, leading to a tough fight throughout the game before the Nittany Lions ultimately pulled away in the second half.
