Gameday Coverage: No. 7 Penn State vs. No. 6 Wisconsin
James Franklin and Paul Chyrst will meet for the first time this Saturday in Lucas Oil Stadium. No. 7 Penn State (10-2, 8-1 Big Ten) is riding an eight-game winning streak in conference play, while the No. 6 Badgers (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) own one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football.
Here’s all the media and miscellaneous information you’ll need.

Weather

Last Time They Met
A freshman Christian Hackenberg led Penn State to a 31-24 upset over the Badgers at Camp Randall in 2013. Wisconsin owns a slim 9-8 lead in the all-time series, but hasn’t won against the Nittany Lions since a 45-7 blowout in Madison in 2011.
Injuries
James Franklin is expecting redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook to start for the Badgers, while Saquon Barkley won’t let an ankle injury deter him from playing in Indianapolis.
