Christian Hackenberg is probably going to get signed by the Jets before the team leaves the field.

I think Collin Ellis has a chance to win B1G def player of the week. 2 pick-6s. I think that equals 12 points.

Mr. Pick-Six Collin Ellis is the 1st @B1Gfootball player w/ 2 INT returns for TDs in the same game since Stats LLC began tracking in 1996.
