Penn State vs. Wisconsin Game Prediction, LINK!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

For Wisconsin to win Clement will have to have a huge game. I'll be shocked if Hornibrook or even both QBs combined throw for over 150 yards. Need to force some PSU turnovers as well.

Just read a good analysis of the game on ESPN and Linked it below: I think this is the difference and Penn State struggles early at away games and Wisky Linebackers can stop run and pass. I can see some Subs for Barkley have some fumbles too.

"They’ve seen the same type of offense from Ohio State, Nebraska, Northwestern and others. But everything Wisconsin is going to do, Penn State hasn’t seen this year. They haven’t played a zero-nose team on defense, for example."

Barkley obviously going to play because what's at stake. But who knows, injury could be serious enough that it would normally keep him out of a game. They'll play it off as he's fine, but we will see once he takes a few knocks. I expect a physical, possibly low scoring defensive game.

Corey Clement (who I would have loved to see in a PITT uniform) doesn't receive nearly enough credit for how good of a player he is. He has 1140 yards rushing to date (without playing against Georgia State), compared with Barkley who has 1219 yards in 12 games. Both are excellent RBs, however, Clement has the edge of a more experienced OL making holes for him in the running game.

In the end, I think the difference will come down to Wisconsin's #7 ranked defense vs. the PSU #22 ranked defense.

Wisconsin: 20
PSU: 13

One thing's for sure and we can all "appreciate," if Wisky wins, it will be "neat."

Go Pitt.

Good analysis Captain. I really feel PSU was in a position to beat Wisconsin until the last rash of injuries to their OL. I just don't think this is a good match up for PSU with the status of the OL. It will be very hard for Barkley to get any lanes against this defense. I agree much is up to McSorely if the running game is to click at all. Wisconsin doesn't show a lot of super stars but they also show no weaknesses. They have played everybody very physically tough. Wisky is a strong, mature, and disciplined team who can play with anybody in the country. They don't have the flash and if they fall behind they could be in trouble against PSU. Before Mahon got hurt and they had to shift everybody remaining on the line, the PSU offense was starting to look scary good. They can still make big plays but consistency and sustaining drives will be really tough against Wisky. Wisky does not give up many big plays in the running or passing game. They control the clock better than anyone. If PSU cannot make some big plays, it will be a long evening for them. Who would have thought this would have been the Big 10 match up a few weeks ago?

Being a PSU fan I think this is spot on. We will need Wisky to be sloppy and get a few short fields I think to win. Our o-line will most likely be our downfall in this game.

Wisky controls the line play. They won't exploit the PSU D the way we did with speed, but they will run it down there throats, old-fashioned style. And their D will contain the offense enough to win.
Wisky 24, PSU 20.

If PSU wins, they will fall short of the playoffs due to an early season loss, to....Pitt.
