No. 20 Penn State dominating the line of scrimmage in a 22-10 win over visiting Wisconsin.
Miles Sanders had 159 rushing yards, eclipsing 1,000 for the season.
Trace McSorley — who briefly exited with an apparent right leg injury — returned and finished with 160 passing yards while completing 19 of 25 attempts.
In the passing game, KJ Hamler, DeAndre Thompkins, Pat Freiermuth and Jahan Dotson all had multiple catches and more than 30 yards.
Wisconsin star running back Jonathan Taylor ripped off a 71-yard touchdown run on the Badgers’ opening drive — but after that, the Nittany Lions clamped down. Shareef Miller and Yetur Gross-Matos owned the edge, while Micah Parsons led the team in tackles with 7 total tackles.
Sanders — who was held to 14 yards on seven carries at Michigan — ran rampant against the Badgers, tallying five runs of 11 yards or more in the first three quarters alone. The junior channeled his inner Saquon Barkley, leaping over Wisconsin defenders in the first and second halves, and ripped through arm tackles on runs of 17, 23 and 29 yards.
Sanders displayed his powerful north-south approach — one that ought to be utilized more consistently.
