Editor’s Note: Each week during the season, the FTB Staff will release its scouting report on Penn State’s upcoming opponent. Normally, these blogs will be posted at 11 a.m. EST Thursday and Friday…but we’re a little premature this week. Hey, happens to the best of us.

For 8 months, the 2020 Duke’s Mayo Bowl – a game whose live TV viewership couldn’t match the swarm of clicks the destruction of its trophy received on Instagram – has been the unwanted relative sitting in my DVR.
Countless times my Significant Other has asked, ‘Hey can we get rid of this?’ in order to free up room for episodes of General Hospital or that one show where home renovators are always shocked to find mold. And countless times I’ve replied, “No, we cannot get rid of this. I need it.”
OK, maybe “countless times” is a tad hyperbolic. We can all count to two.
Regardless, the point I’m failing to make is that putting together informative scouts on Penn State’s Week 1 opponents will forever be clunky because you’re using tape that’s collected a lot of digital dust since last season. Guys graduate. Guys transfer. Guys return from injury. Guys move up the depth chart, beating out starters from last season.
And in Wisconsin’s case, guys also can get 2020’d.
