Updated OCT 2, 2026Darrion Dupree answers drop in Wisconsin’s Penn State upset
What Happened
Darrion Dupree answered a dropped pass with a significant fourth-quarter contribution in Wisconsin’s 24–20 road win at Penn State on Saturday, Sept. 26. The victory moved Wisconsin to 3–1 and handed Penn State its first loss after the Nittany Lions opened 3–0. Dupree’s response helped spark the Badgers’ offense in a marquee Big Ten game. The win gives Wisconsin’s 3–1 start a Big Ten result to build on, while Dupree’s rebound could shape his offensive role against Michigan State. Wisconsin hosts the Spartans on Saturday, Oct. 3, at 12:30 p.m. ET. Josh Pate’s preseason bracket put Penn State No. 7 in the playoff field, so Wisconsin’s upset win puts pressure on that projection. The dropped pass now sits beside the fourth-quarter response that could keep Dupree in the conversation for Wisconsin’s offense.
