BSD Staff Predictions Roundtable: Wisconsin

The staff provides their predictions for the upcoming Big Ten opener between Penn State and Wisconsin. Chris anticipates a balanced game with the run game playing a larger role, as James Peoples and Quentin Martin step up in the passing game. Rocco Becht is expected to dominate the defense, while Quinton Martin is likely to have another solid performance.

Patrick believes Wisconsin is the team to beat on Penn State's schedule, but still expects the Lions to come out on top. Bennett acknowledges the impact of Koby Howard's absence but still predicts a Penn State victory with the Lions finding enough points to win. Tim suggests that the absence of Koby Howard will force other receivers to step up, while Quinton Martin may have a chance to establish himself as the team's top rusher.

Colton Joseph's erratic play is a concern, but Becht should be able to keep the Badgers in the game. Eli expects a similar script to last week's game, with Penn State containing Joseph and ultimately pulling away for a comfortable win. Jared notes the uncertainty surrounding both teams but expects a close game at Beaver Stadium, with the Lions having the advantage in terms of home field advantage.
