By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 3 months ago

Much debate rages about who will be the quarterback at Michigan. Whoever wins the job will be comforted by the fact he’ll throw to two of the Big Ten’s top targets in Jehu Chesson and Amara Darboh.

The top Big Ten football players by jersey number

By Sean Merriman, BTN.com web editor, 3 months ago

When talking about the best football players in Big Ten history, it is near impossible to choose just one player worthy of the title, “the best.” [ MORE: Can a Big Ten West team win the conference title in 2016? ] So, what’s the right way to break down this argument?

By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 3 months ago

Ask any coach, and he’ll tell you the most difficult spot to recruit is defensive line. It is very difficult to find players who are big AND quick. Teams that can build good lines typically have a shot to win league titles. Iowa is one of those teams. [ MORE: West offensive lines | West pass-catchers | West backfields | West predictions ] Here is my ranking of the Big Ten West defensive lines. 1. Iowa.

By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 3 months ago

The plaudits for the Michigan d-line began in the winter.
