Penn State football looks to pass its most critical road game test of the 2024 season tonight.

The still undefeated and No. 3 Nittany Lions (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) will be forced to raise their level of play against a suddenly great Wisconsin team in front of one of college football’s most raucous primetime crowds. (7:30 p.m., NBC).

Penn State’s defense must be more effective, and faster, than it is used to so far this fall to control the tempo and contain sold-out Camp Randall Stadium. The Wisconsin Badgers are on a rejuvenating three-game winning streak, led in part by superior backups Braedyn Locke at quarterback and Tawee Walker at running back.

This will be a game where Penn State gets “answers,” especially leading up to Saturday’s potential top-five showdown against Ohio State. Is the highly hyped defense really as good as advertised after a series of shaky starts? And will Drew Allar take another step towards becoming one of the best quarterbacks in the country, as he envisioned two years ago?

In any case, all eyes will be on this Lions offense, which under coordinator Andy Kotelnicki has become one of the most versatile, varied and entertaining in the country.

“I mean, he’s like an offensive mastermind. I don’t know how he does (these) things,” Penn State offensive lineman Anthony Donkoh said of Kotelnicki this week. “I’d say we have a lot more crazy stuff in store and I can’t wait to actually use them in the game.”

This section will be updated when the game starts.

The Nittany Lions will be without another running back tonight in Madison.

Promising freshman Quinton Martin, who was the third option behind co-starters Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen, was listed as “out” on the Big Ten’s pregame availability report. The Lions have already been without top backup Cam Wallace for the past few games due to an undisclosed long-term injury, according to coach James Franklin.

Martin was the only significant addition to Penn State’s report this week. No Lions were listed as “questionable” tonight.
