On Wednesday night's series premiere of "The Journey: Big Ten Football," we profiled Michigan's Denard Robinson, Ohio State's John Simon and Penn State's Michael Mauti. On the show, Mauti, Penn State's standout linebacker, read the poem his mother gave him before he went to college.

Here's an excerpt: "You got it from your father, it was the best he had to give. Gladly he bestowed it, it's yours the while you live." Watch the full clip on Mauti now.

Here are the bonus clips from Wednesday's premiere:
