STATE COLLEGE — Penn State star linebacker Michael Mauti will miss Saturday's season finale against Wisconsin with a left knee injury.

Coach Bill O'Brien made the announcement Monday. The team's worst fears came true after Mauti was carted off the field during the 45-22 win last week over Indiana.

Mauti and fellow senior Michael Zordich made impassioned pleas to stick with the program two days after the penalties were announced. In the end, 10 players transferred, but more than 90 percent of the roster stayed.
