Daryl Clark, a dual-threat quarterback, has been a very smart playmaker for Penn State. Clark has been efficient in the passing game as he has thrown nine touchdowns and just one interception. He also has a great scrambling ability, as he has scored four rushing touchdowns. Unlike most running quarterbacks, you won’t see Clark force the issue. He will stay in the pocket as long as possible before taking off.

Wisconsin’s offense has really struggled to make big plays this season. Quarterback Allan Evridge has been anything back consistent this season. He is completing just 55% of his passes and has thrown four interceptions. Look for Penn State to get a lot of pressure of Evridge, forcing him to make mistakes. They have recorded 17 sacks and nine interceptions this year. Look for thaese number to increase after the game.

Penn State’s defense has been right up there with their offense. They are allowing just 11.7 points per game and allowed over 20 points just once. The Nittany Lions allow just 80 rushing yards per game, meaning they will force the Badgers into doing things offensively they normally do not do. Once a team enters the red zone against Penn State they have really turned their D up another notch. Wisconsin has struggled to find the end zone once getting inside the 20.
