MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Jaquan Brisker and Ji’Ayir Brown intercepted Graham Mertz deep in Penn State territory in the final 2½ minutes to preserve the 19th-ranked Nittany Lions’ 16-10 victory over No. 12 Wisconsin.

The Badgers dominated time of possession but had four scoreless trips inside Penn State’s 25, including three inside the 10.
