Team of the Week : Penn State : All Wisconsin had to do was beat a 5-6 team at home and they had most likely a 4th trip to the Rose Bowl in the bag. Penn State showed up and Bill O’Brien’s teams dominated the Badgers. It wasn’t close. When O’Brien gets his full allotment of scholarships and bowl eligibility back, the Nittany Lions will be back very quick.
Game of the Week : Ohio State 42 – Michigan 41 : The Game lived up to the hype! The national media will rip Ohio State for “struggling” with Michigan, just so they can get a 1 loss SEC team in the Championship game (looking at you ESPN). But this game is a game they can play over and over and over again and you can always throw out the records. Michigan came back on their arch rival and had a chance, and I like the call, to win with a 2 point conversion when Gardner’s pass being picked off.
Player of the Week : James Morris / Anthony Hitchens / Christian Kirksey – Iowa Linebackers : The 3 of the senior Iowa linebackers, and the Iowa Defense, controlled the Huskers all day, and totally lit up Ron Kellogg. 28 tackles, 2 sacks, 7 tackles for loss, 2 Interceptions and 2 forced fumbles. These 3 have been the rock in Iowa’s D all year long and they held the Big Ten’s leading rusher to 85 yards. These 3 will be missed next year.
