The day was for the seniors.  Honoring the 2012 class alongside the greatest Nittany Lion football teams.  Penn State unveiled a "2012" on the wall inside Beaver Stadium before the game against Wisconsin.  And the seniors got to greet their families on the field.

And then, it was down to business.  The Badgers got out to an early lead, but Penn State battled back in the 1st quarter with a Zach Zwinak touchdown.  Zwinak had 179 yards on the day, which put him at 1000 yards in season.

Wisconsin took the lead once again, as Montee Ball rushes for a score that makes him the all-time TD king in college football.  The Badgers took a 14-10 lead into the half.

In the second half though, Matt McGloin tossed a TD score to Jesse James that gave the Nittany Lions the lead.

But late in the fourth quarter, Wisconsin was able to score a touchdown in the final seconds of the game on fourth and goal.  So the game would go into overtime.

Penn State had the first shot.  Sam Ficken kicked a field goal to go up 24-21.  And when Wisconsin got a chance to tie with a field goal, they missed, giving Penn State the 3-point victory.

The Nittany Lions end the season with a 8-4 record.
