1. SECOND-HALF SUPREMACY: Penn State took a commanding lead in the first half of Sunday's game, ahead by as many as 17 points and leading by 14 at the conclusion of the first half.

The Badgers held the Nittany Lions without a field goal for the first 5:28 of the quarter and led at its conclusion, 50-47.
