he Wisconsin Badgers face the Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium to kick off the season for both teams. Penn State finished last season at 4-5 campaign while the Badgers finished at 4-3. The Lions started the season at -05 ut managed to win their last four games. Quarterback Sean Clifford returns for his third year as a starter, Last season he threw for 1,883 yards with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Jahan Dotson returns at wide receiver. The Nittany Lions turned the ball over 17 times last year and will need to improve on that. The rushing attack will be led by Noah Cain, who injured his leg on the opening drive last season.

Wisconsin finished with a 4-3 overall record and was 3-3 in the Big Ten Conference. Graham Mertz returns at quarterback for Wisconsin. Mertz went 20 of 21 and threw five touchdowns in last year’s season opener, but he had just four touchdown passes the rest of the year. The Badgers have won 25 home-season openers in a row.

Both teams need to improve in a few areas from last season. The Lions’ offense was good last season but just couldn't come up with wins. Wisconsin played like Wisconsin last season, controlling the ball, but they just couldn't finish. Wisconsin returns almost all of the key players to a defense that was one of the best in the country. had one of the best defenses in the country last season and it returns almost all of its key players. points are going to come at a premium in this one so I will take the extra points in what looks like to be a low-scoring game.

Play on Penn State.
