Week 2 of the college football season was a pretty darn good one for the Big Ten, wouldn't you say? As a whole, the Big Ten went 11-1 on Saturday, with the only slip-up being Indiana's 41-35 loss to a good Navy team. With that said, it's time to hit the rewind button and take a look back at the top plays and twitter reactions from this weekend.
See my updated roundup as I dig deep into the twitterverse and pull the best football-related tweets from athletes, coaches and beat writers around the Big Ten.

Kain Colter is making the Orange look very silly. JUUUUUUST stretches into the end zone after a huge run to make it 27-7.

3. Shilique Calhoun's 56-yard interception return for a TD

Shilique Calhoun for Heisman!

So, why is Shilique Calhoun not playing offense in certain packages?

2. Akeem Hunt's 99-yard opening kickoff return for a TD
What they're saying…
Imagine this…. Rob Henry and spread with Raheem Mostert and Akeem Hunt and Cottom as power back. Dalapo, Gary and oj as wideouts… Sigh

Um, OK, #Purdue scores a touchdown on the opening kickoff on a reverse - B.J. Knauf fields the ball, hands to Akeem Hunt, who goes distance.

All #Purdue's Akeem Hunt does is score long touchdowns.

1. Jeremy Gallon's video game-like 67-yard TD catch
What they're saying…
Deuce-one from Michigan is legit
— LaMike james (@LaMichaelJames) September 8, 2013
San Francisco 49ers RB LaMichael James
Jeremy Gallon : Devin Gardner :: Brandon Marshall : Jay Cutler. (Except Michigan's duo looks a bit more impressive)

Jeremy Gallon is looking like Desmond Howard tonight. And not just because of the jersey number.
