B1G Video: Watch highlights from Week 4's games here
The latest Amway Coaches Poll was released Sunday morning, and there's a new team pacing the Big Ten. Reigning Big Ten champ Penn State comes in at No. 5, while No. 9 Ohio State falls seven spots as a result of its loss vs. Oklahoma, which is No. 2/No. 3.
There were some impressive efforts in Week 2. Is Penn State the best team in the Big Ten? I think so. Maryland continues to shine, along with Wisconsin. Illinois and Minnesota are 2-0. How will Ohio State rebound from an ugly home loss to Oklahoma?
There is no denying it: Penn State is the No. 1 team in my latest Big Ten Power Rankings, presented by ArcelorMittal. But keep an eye on Wisconsin, assuming it can get some consistent play in the passing game.
The No. 5 Sooners took it to the No. 2 Buckeyes, winning 31-16 as the Ohio State offense struggles to get going.
Offensive problems from last season and beyond plagued No. 2 Ohio State again in their 31-16 loss to No. 5 Oklahoma Saturday. The passing game "isn't big-time enough", writes Tom Dienhart.
The numbers have been impressive. In fact, they have been dominating. This looks like a unit capable of leading No. 4 Penn State to another Big Ten championship. I’m talking about the Nittany Lion defense. Not the offense.
Trace McSorley threw for three touchdowns, including Saquon Barkley's 46-yard catch-and-run, and No. 4 Penn State pulled away from Pittsburgh for a 33-14 win on Saturday.
Brian Lewerke scored on a 61-yard run in the first quarter, and Michigan State's defense was impressive for a second straight week in a 28-14 victory over Western Michigan on Saturday.
Ty Isaac ran for a career-high 133 yards and Wilton Speight threw two touchdowns to help No. 8 Michigan pull away and beat Cincinnati 36-14 on Saturday.
True freshman Kasim Hill threw two touchdown passes in his starting debut, Ty Johnson ran for two long scores and Maryland cruised past in-state foe Towson 63-17 on Saturday.
