No. 6 Penn State Blows Out Wisconsin, 48-7

Associated Press MADISON, Wis. -- Forget the press box. Joe Paterno could have coached this one from his living room. A sore hip relegated Paterno to a perch high above the field for the second week in a row -- and once again, not having their iconic leader on the sidelines didn't matter to No. 6 Penn State. Daryll Clark threw for a touchdown and ran for two more scores, Derrick Williams ran a punt back for a touchdown and cornerback Lydell Sargeant had two interceptions off of two quarterbacks as the Nittany Lions (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) dismantled Wisconsin 48-7 Saturday night. For Penn State, it was another strong statement, asserting its place among the nation's top teams. "We certainly deserve to be considered," Paterno said. Fast Facts • The Nittany Lions improved to 7-0 for the 11th time under Joe Paterno and first since 1999. • Wisconsin lost consecutive home games for the first time since 2002, and suffered its third-worst home loss in 20 years, its worst since a 51-3 loss to Miami on September 9, 1989. • Wisconsin now has two home losses this year, twice as many as it had in the previous four seasons (2004-07) combined. • Daryll Clark had three touchdowns (one passing, two rushing) to lead Penn State, It was his fourth game this season with at least one rushing TD and one passing TD. -- ESPN research
