Wisconsin quarterback Colton Joseph connected with Jacob Harris on a 72-yard touchdown pass with 1:13 remaining, capping a rally from a 17-7 halftime deficit to defeat No. 13 Penn State 24-20 on Saturday. The victory marks the Badgers' first win in State College since 2003 and their first road win over a ranked opponent since 2021.
Joseph threw two costly interceptions in the first half, including a pick-six by Josiah Zayas that gave Penn State a 10-0 lead. He rebounded to lead two fourth-quarter scoring drives, adding a rushing touchdown and an 11-yard strike to Eugene Hilton Jr. before the game-winning deep ball.
“I don't know if there's any tougher situation than what we were in out there today. And to see these guys not falter, to see guys not kinda get down on Colton and not give up on him, that's what to me makes me so proud.”
Penn State quarterback Rocco Becht completed just 12 of 29 passes for 129 yards and an interception. The Nittany Lions punted on five of eight second-half possessions and failed to gain a first down on four of their final five drives.
The loss is the first for Penn State under head coach Matt Campbell, whose team entered the game 3-0. Wisconsin improves to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in Big Ten play.
