Big Ten Review
Score: 33-22 Michigan
A few stats: Chad Henne:17-26, 195 yards, 1 TD, 2 int’s, Mike Hart 22 carries, 215 yards, 3 TD’s; Adrian Arrington: 6 catches, 102 yards, 1 TD.
A couple words: A close game that in which ESPN called Mike Harts performance “a career day.” The funny thing is that Mike Hart’s career will be remembered by his mouth and his numbers vs. Eastern Michigan…Hart insisted, “I honestly wasn’t worried”, about Eastern Michigan that is…MGoblog is beginning to talk about everything except this year, while MZONE writes thank you letters to USC.
Game Changer: Mike Hart for his career day.
Wisconsin (5-1) at Illinois (5-1)
Score: 31-26 Illinois
A few stats: Rashard Mendenhall: 19 carries, 160 yards, 2 TD’s, Juice Williams: 12-19, 121 yards, 1 TD. P.J. Hill: 21 carries, 83 yards, 0 TD’s. Travis Beckum: 11 catches, 160 yards.
A couple words: Illinois stopped P.J. Hill and therefore stopped Wisconsin…Travis Beckum had a big day while Luke Swan is out for the year with a torn hamstring....Hill’s ineffectiveness led to Tyler Donovan and Wisconsin to pass more than often in the second half as Donovan ended with 392 yards passing...Illinitalk makes reference to some outrageous accusations by a certain Badger and seems to be happy with the outcome…Illinois is currently using two quarterbacks with great efficiency as Eddie McGee has been getting a decent amount of time.
Game Changer: Illinois Defense for taking Hill out of the game.
Northwestern (3-3) at Michigan State (4-2)
Score: 48-41 Northwestern
A few stats: C.J. Bacher: 38-48, 520 yards, 5 TD’s, Brian Hoyer: 17-31, 194 yards, 1 TD.
A couple words: A very disappointing performance by Michigan State’s defense in East Lansing…Javon Ringer had another big day…Allowing 520 yards of passing is a bad sign for MSU who plays Indiana next week…The Enlightened Spartan rips on Brent Musberger, talks of their chances against Indiana, and is bitter about the defense. How could they not be?
Game Changer: C.J. Bacher: 520 yards passing and 5 TD’s.
