Week 6 of the college football season was sure a fun one, wasn't it? Ohio State escaped Evanston with a gutsy 40-30 win over Northwestern, in a game that lived up to expectations. Michigan State notched a big statement win over Iowa, while Indiana pulled off an impressive upset win over Penn State in Bloomington. Nebraska and Michigan each cruised to easy wins over Illinois and Minnesota, respectively.
Through six weeks, Ohio State and Michigan are the only remaining unbeaten teams in the conference. With that said, let?s take a look 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 plays and tweets from athletes, coaches and reporters around the Big Ten.

So I guess Macgarrett Kings Jr. is OK. Best day for MSU's receivers as a group since ….?

Game-changer: The FreakShow strikes in a big way with Bradley Roby swallowing up a punt, recovered for an OSU touchdown. Incredible play.

Bradley Roby is no stranger to plays like that. Did the same at Indiana last year.

Whoa, are you kidding me with that touchdown catch by Kofi Hughes for Indiana? Wow.

That Nate Sudfeld to Kofi Hughes TD pass may be the biggest play of the Kevin Wilson era, considering IU needs a B1G win, is 0-16 vs PSU.
