That Was One of THE WORST Losses in Penn State Football History...

Penn State blew a 17-0 lead and fell 24-20 to Wisconsin in a stunning Big Ten opener at Beaver Stadium. The defense produced three interceptions—including a pick-six—but the Nittany Lions offense couldn't consistently move the football or protect the lead.

Zach Seyko and Zane Brancefield break down what went wrong with Rocco Becht, Taylor Mouser and the Penn State rushing attack, why Koby Howard's absence appeared to change the entire offense, and whether the running-back committee has run its course.

James Peoples led Penn State with 67 yards on 14 carries, and Zach believes it's time to establish him as RB1 going into Northwestern.

Plus, how much blame belongs on Matt Campbell and what this loss changes moving forward.

What changes would you make to Penn State's offense?
