Key stats that lead to Penn State’s collapse against Wisconsin
Penn State blew a 17-0 lead to Wisconsin on Saturday, and here are all the stats that led to the loss.
Penn State's Week 4 game against Wisconsin was a stark contrast to their impressive season so far. The Badgers completely dominated the Nittany Lions' offense, allowing only one touchdown on a shortened field. Despite having an elite defense, Penn State's third-down conversion rate dropped to a mere 26%, making it difficult for their opponents to move the chains.
However, there were some positive takeaways for Penn State. D'Anton Lynn continued to dominate, contributing to the team's string of takeaways. With five taken this season so far, they could have a remarkably high turnover margin by the end of the year if they maintain this trend. Additionally, while quarterback Rocco Becht struggled in this game, it's a familiar issue for him and hopefully not a trend.
Despite these challenges, Penn State will need Becht to return to his early-season form if they're to reach their full potential.
