Week 4 of the college football season was somewhat of a mixed bag for the Big Ten. The team's that were favored to win took care of business. The teams that weren't favored, came away empty handed. As a whole, the Big Ten went 7-2 in non-conference matchups on Saturday, and Wisconsin cruised to an easy win over Purdue in the lone Big Ten game of the day. Through four weeks, Ohio State, Michigan Minnesota and Northwestern are the only remaining unbeaten teams in the conference. With that said, let's go back and take a peak at the top plays and twitter reactions from this past weekend.
Check out my updated roundup as I dig deep into the twitterverse and pull the best football-related tweets from athletes, coaches and reporters around the Big Ten.

Great diving catch by Fowler for 19 yards on a bad throw from Cook puts MSU to ND 14.

3. Kevonte Martin-Manley's back-to-back punt return TDs
What they're saying…
I think it's safe to say Kevonte Martin-Manley already had B1G Special Teams POW wrapped up just halfway thru 2nd Qtr. #Hawkeyes

As you might expect, Kevonte Martin Manley now leads the universe in punt return average

I think we'll see that ankle-breaking James White TD run about, oh, 4,681 more times today. And well we should. #Badgers
