Week 7 of the college football season was filled with upsets, blowouts and several outstanding individual performances. Penn State upset Michigan in four overtimes, which could go down as one of the top Big Ten football games of this decade. Michigan State continues to impress with a convincing home win over Indiana, while Wisconsin and Nebraska each cruised to blowout wins over Northwestern and Purdue, respectively.
Through seven weeks, Ohio State is the only remaining unbeaten team 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.

Stars make big plays in crunch time. And, no doubt, Allen Robinson is a star.
