  "account": "STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — After a 24-20 loss to Wisconsin, where they blew a 17-0 lead, Penn State's offensive coordinator, Taylor Mouser, reflected on the game. Mouser, who also serves as the tight ends coach, acknowledged the emotional toll of the first loss of Matt Campbell's tenure. He admitted to being tough on himself, swearing at the mirror and watching \"Seinfeld\" to clear his head before addressing the team's shortcomings. Penn State outgained Wisconsin in the first quarter with 81-14, but struggled to maintain momentum, only gaining seven first downs the rest of the game and just one in the fourth quarter. The offense punted on two crucial possessions, allowing Wisconsin to score twice in the final four minutes. Quarterback Rocco Becht's performance was particularly disappointing, completing only 12 of 29 passes for 114 yards and an interception. Mouser and Becht both accepted blame for the poor performance, with Becht not making enough plays and Mouser not calling the right plays. The Lions were without star receiver Koby Howard and had limited success on the outside. Tight end group only managed four catches in the game, all from Ben Brahmer. Campbell noted Becht's inconsistent performance and the need for improvement from the entire team before they face Northwestern, another team that recently lost to a higher-ranked opponent.",
