Week 8 of the college football season sure was a doozy. Michigan topped Indiana 63-47 in one of the most entertaining games of the college football season. Ohio State sweated out a close win over Iowa, Minnesota got a huge upset victory over Northwestern, and Wisconsin and Michigan State took care of business against Illinois and Purdue, respectively.
Through eight weeks, Ohio State is the only remaining unbeaten team in the conference. With that said, let?s 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 plays and tweets from athletes, coaches and reporters around the Big Ten.

Glad to see our defense put 7 on the board for us! That makes it 5 this year & I'm sure there will be more to come #spartans

What they're saying…
Shane Wynn gets through triple coverage and catches a pass in the endzone. Impressive play from the junior.

2. Carlos Hyde's video-game like TD run:
What they're saying…
BIG TIME run by Carlos Hyde. Combination of power and balance for a TD. Looks like Earl Campbell wearing that 34!!

Been covering football for 40 years, that run by Carlos Hyde ranks in top 5 I have witnessed live. WOW! Ohio State leads 31-24, 13:24 left.

Nebraska WR Kenny Bell
Kofi Hughes with a you-can't-be-serious 67-yd TD catch. Jumps over defender, pulls ball up and over, races rest of way to the end zone.

The harder the catch, the more likely @KofiHughes is to make it. He's unreal that way. #iufb
