It likely still hasn't set in for these Wisconsin Badgers players as to just how big of an upset this truly was.
Penn State was likely knocked out of the US LBM Coaches Poll entirely after blowing a 17-0 lead against a Wisconsin team that hasn't had much success beating ranked opponents in the Luke Fickell era.
The Nittany Lions had won six straight games against Wisconsin, and most importantly, hadn't dropped a game to the Badgers in Happy Valley since 2003.
Now, courtesy of PSU advanced stats, this loss has been another new wrinkle.
In Penn State's home games from 2002-26, the Nittany Lions had won 101 straight games when leading by 17+ points.
Since 2002, Penn State had led a home game by 17 or more 101 times and won all 101. Tonight it went 0 for

Somehow, this Badgers defense was able to do enough to overcome Colton Joseph's three interceptions, and then the Old Dominion transfer did his thing in the fourth quarter.
No matter what happens the rest of the year, UW knows they'll always be the 1 in 101-1 that will haunt PSU for quite some time.
