Week 9 of the college football season was filled with a little bit of everything. We had upsets, blowouts and plenty of top plays. Minnesota had a memorable 34-23 upset victory over Nebraska, making the Gophers bowl eligible. Iowa edged out Northwestern in overtime, while both Michigan State and Ohio State cruised to blowout wins over Illinois and Penn State, respectively.
Through nine weeks, Ohio State remains the only unbeaten team in the conference. With that said, let's dig deep into the twitterverse and pull the best plays and tweets from athletes, coaches and reporters around the Big Ten.

There's a vintage Braxton Miller run that's been missing this season. Incredible acceleration on 39-yard touchdown rush. #PSUvsOSU

Braxton Miller is making Devin Gardner look like the JV quarterback. Tonight is the varsity game.

We are seeing the fully weaponized Braxton Miller we've imagined for so long. (Pryor never got there.)

That's a top-10 play we're not going to see again. RT @MikeWScout: Uh. So that interception by Isaiah Lewis was decent.

Have to say this though: Ameer Abdullah is a heckuva player. Nineteen yards from 1,000 already. #Huskers
