No. 7 Penn St. rallies to beat No. 6 Wisconsin 38-31

INDIANAPOLIS -- As Penn State's band played and Lucas Oil Stadium rocked, thousands of fans clad in their traditional white shirts chanted "We Are Penn State." It might have been more fitting if had it been "We are Penn State -- and we are back." Five years after a child sex abuse scandal tainted the reputation of the school and its football program along with the legacy of late coach Joe Paterno, quarterback Trace McSorley put the Nittany Lions squarely back in the national spotlight Saturday night with an epic 38-31 come-from-behind victory over No. 6 Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game. It was the largest comeback in the six-year history of the game. Before coach James Franklin left the field, he was already lobbying the playoff committee to put No. 8 Penn State in the final four. "What I do know is that we just won the toughest conference in college football," he said.
