Week 3 of the college football season wasn't the kindest to the Big Ten, but that doesn't mean there weren't plenty of outstanding plays. As a whole, the Big Ten went 7-5 on Saturday, as Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota and Northwestern are the only unbeaten teams remaining in the conference. With that said, it?s time to go back in time and 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 football-related tweets from athletes, coaches and reporters around the Big Ten.

Cody Latimer having a monster game. 6 catches for 137 yards and 1 TD. If Sudfeld hits him in stride on the sideline pass, he scores. #iufb
