Michigan St. (4-1) at
Wisconsin (5-0)
Score: 37-34 Wisconsin
A few stats: P.J. Hill (Wisc.): 34
carries, 155 yards, 2 TD’s, Travis Beckum
(Wisc.): 10 catches, 132 yards, 1 TD, Brian Hoyer
(MSU): 22-36, 323 yards 2 TD’s; Javon Ringer
(MSU): 10 carries, 145 yards, 7 receptions, 88 yards.
A couple words: Wisconsin escapes in a game Michigan State gave away with absurd penalties down the stretch…The first team that stops P.J. Hill will beat Wisconsin…Over 1000 yards of total offense between both teams…Kyle Jefferson was knocked out of the game when he took a massive hit… Marcus Randle El (Wisc.) and Chris Rucker (MSU) were ejected for throwing punches…The Enlightened Spartan is satisfied…Give Dantonio a little more time and the Spartans will be a force.
Game Changer: P.J. Hill: 155 yards, 2 TD’s…if you can’t stop him, you can’t beat Wisconsin.
A few stats: Rejis Benn (Ill.): 2
TD’s, Rashard Mendenhall (Ill.): 18 carries, 76
yards, 1 TD, Anthony Morelli (PSU): 21-38, 298 yards
1 TD, 3 Int’s;
A couple words: Rejus Benn is the real deal for a freshman…Anthony Morelli should be pulled…Ron Zook seems to have Illinois on track as this was their first win over a ranked opponent since 2001…Illinitalk gives Benn the props he deserves, rejoices in victory, and continues to question whether or not Juice Williams should be their man under center…Joe Pa said PSU would “have to address the turnover issue.”
Game Changer: Rejis Benn (Ill.): 90 yard kick return for a touchdown and a reception for a touchdown.
Michigan (3-2) at Northwestern (2-3)
Score: 28-16 Michigan
A few stats: Mike Hart (UM): 30 carries, 106 yards, 1 TD, Chad Henne (UM): 18-27, 193 yards, 3 TD’s, Mario Manningham (UM): 10 catches, 123 yards, 1 TD.
A couple words: Still no Tyrell Sutton for Northwestern…Michigan was losing 16-7 after the first half…Misery loves company so rather than headline the Wolverines, MZone talks about all the upsets…Henne had a big brace on his right leg and shared time with Mallet for awhile although Henne is certainly the superior QB.
Game Changer: Chad Henne: His fire ignited the troops and sparked a comeback…vs. Northwestern
Notre Dame (0-5) at Purdue (5-0)
Score: 33-19 Purdue
A few stats: Curtis Painter 22-37, 252 yards, 2 TD’s, 2 Int’s, Dorien Bryant (Purdue): 8 catches, 82 yards, 1 TD, Kory Sheets (Purdue): 27 carries, 141 yards, 1 TD.
A couple words: Purdue is the real deal even though they didn’t play their best game versus the Irish…Check out Curtis Painter’s season stats here…Check out Dorien Bryant’s season stats here…And above all, pray that Saturday's game doesn't come down to something like this!
Game Changer: Painter, Sheets, Bryant…pick your poison…Our D needs to be ready.
Iowa (2-3) at Indiana (4-1)
Score: 38-20 Indiana
A few stats: Kellen Lewis (Indiana): 19-26, 322 yards, 3 TD’s
A couple words: Kellen Lewis again with a solid performance…Check out his fumble recovery that resulted in a 71 yard touchdown run here…Indiana has quietly started the season 4-1 and has some serious athleticism…Iowa meanwhile, is again spending Sunday talking about next year.
Game Changer: Kellen Lewis
Score: 37-34 Wisconsin
