As the unranked Wisconsin football team took down the No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions, there is no doubt that excitement is buzzing around the Badgers. With the Wisconsin football team leading past Penn State on Saturday, Badgers star Jacob Harris made a dominant declaration about the state of the program that is sure to catch the attention of the entire nation.
The Badgers were down 17-7 at halftime to the Nittany Lions, but the second half saw the Wisconsin football team outscore Penn State, 17-7, which led to the miraculous victory. Helping the Badgers was star tight end Jacob Harris, who recorded five catches for 105 yards and a touchdown, as the score was a 72-yarder that gave Wisconsin the lead.
Speaking after the game, Harris declared that the “Badgers are back” and that the team is “historically a top-dog program.”

That’s what the community deserves. That’s what we’re going to give them,” Harris said, according to Jesse Temple of Badger Connect.
At any rate, the Wisconsin football team has a major spark after the opening-season loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 41-13, winning the next three games, including Saturday's against Penn State. Consequently, the Baders look to carry the momentum against the Michigan State Spartans next Saturday afternoon, with the hope that Harris' comments on the program being back are real.
