10/6

Another big afternoon for B1G football with one huge game yet to be played tonight between Nebraska and Ohio State. A couple thoughts from the games today. We'll start with Purdue who looked like the same Purdue team we've seen the last couple years. They struggled real bad, at home, to do anything against Michigan today. I think Michigan is a good team but not a great team. To see them go on the road and hand it Purdue like that makes me wonder if Purdue doesn't pose as much of a threat in the Leaders division as I thought. Indiana proved that they're an improved football team. They won't ever be in the conversation when it comes to the B1G champioship game but watch for them to potentially pull off a big upset in the weeks to come. I liked how they moved the ball offensively. Wisconsin and Michigan State both looked brutal in the first half and looked very strong in the second. With the lack of consistency I still don't know what to expect from these two teams come Saturday. Wisconsin's defense is what's going to win them at least 8 games this year. Penn State is irrelevant in the B1G title race but have still been impressive at times. Northwestern is a good football team with, in my opinion, one of the best coaches in the country and Penn State stuck it to them late today. Like Indiana, watch for Penn State to pull an upset to stir up the B1G title race. Probably Wisconsin at home at the end of the year. Illinois is the worst team in the B1G. They're brutal. Hope tonight's game lives up to its hype. Should be a good one!
