Episode Details

Big Ten football news: Penn State vs Wisconsin defensive film breakdown! Rocco Becht, Taylor Mouser, Kobe Howard and Matt Campbell headline a critical Big Ten matchup. Can Penn State exploit Wisconsin's defense without falling into its biggest trap?

Penn State enters Big Ten play facing a Wisconsin defense that could present a serious challenge for the Nittany Lions. But after reviewing the All-22 film, Chris believes Penn State has opportunities to attack the Badgers if Taylor Mouser makes the right adjustments.

In this episode of The Big Ten Huddle, JR and Chris break down Wisconsin's defensive fronts, how Penn State can attack six-man boxes, and why forcing the run against a stacked defense could play directly into Wisconsin's hands.

We also discuss Kobe Howard's injury and Penn State's receiving depth, Rocco Becht's passing ability, the potential for more play-action, and whether Penn State is getting enough out of its running back rotation.

Plus, Chris shares what he's hearing about Carson Hanson, we discuss how transfer-portal commitments can affect playing time, and we examine Wisconsin's special teams as a potential difference-maker.

Can Penn State take advantage of what Wisconsin gives it, or will the Badgers turn this into the kind of physical, low-scoring game they want?
