Penn State vs. Wisconsin: Live Score, Highlights and Analysis

Final Penn State 7, Wisconsin 45

It all comes down to one final game. Penn State has held a lead in the Big Ten Leaders Division all season long, but that has not been enough, for many continue calling Wisconsin the team to beat. This weekend, if Penn State is to finish the job in the division, they will have to beat the Badgers on their home turf.

A trip to Indianapolis for the Big Ten championship game will be on the line. The winner of this weekend's matchup between the Nittany Lions and Badgers will determine the champion of the Leaders Division. The winner will face Michigan State next week for the conference's automatic bid to the BCS, accompanied by a trip to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl.

Penn State has played a bit of an underdog role throughout the season. Despite the recent controversy on their campus, the team has responded well in the face of the adversity that they had nothing to do with. A close, tough loss at home against Nebraska saw some early punches to the gut, but the blue and white battled back valiantly. A road trip to Ohio State usually results in a loss, but not this season. Penn State returned home with a 20-14 victory.

The keys to one more road win for Penn State will be in finding a way to keep Wisconsin running back Montee Ball and quarterback Russell Wilson from doing too much damage. Penn State's defense will be tested by Wisconsin's dynamic duo, and the Ball-Wilson combo will get some yards and points on the scoreboard. However, if Penn State can keep them from running wild, the offense should be in position to pick up a win late in the game.

Can Matt McGloin, Silas Redd, Derek Moye and a resurgent Stephfon Green find a way to crack that Wisconsin defense when it matters the most?
