"It was right when we got in the locker room. We usually have our coaches talk about who was good on O, D and ST. We skipped that. We know what's coming up this week. It's on. Honestly." – Ohio State LB Darron Lee, on when team talked about next week's game at Michigan State
"I'm embarrassed. The way we played, we should have lost. I feel like I failed. We got a win, but we play a team like Wisconsin or Iowa, it's not going to be pretty." – Nebraska QB Tommy Armstrong, on win vs. Purdue
"We're right there. Defense plays good and the offense comes up short. Offense plays good, defense comes up short. We've got to play together." – Purdue QB Austin Appleby, on loss at Nebraska
"Let the rivalry begin now; let it begin. There should be a trophy for this game. It's a bordering state. Let's have some fun." – Maryland coach Randy Edsall, on the Maryland-Penn Statem rivalry
"Let me just start off by saying I want to apologize to Penn State fans, to their team, their university for what took place at the beginning of the game. That is not who we are. Our emotions got the best of us. We've got to be above that." – Maryland coach Randy Edsall, on team's pregame behavior
"This team has had the potential to do this kind of stuff all year, but we just weren't executing. Today, we definitely executed." – Iowa RB Mark Weisman, on offensive explosion vs. Northwestern
"I've been having dreams about it, so when (Kirk Ferentz) told me to go in, I was like, 'Wow, that's crazy,'" – Iowa RB Akrum Wadley, on breakout 100-yard game
"We're kind of the guys who don't get talked about. We love that and we play with a chip on our shoulder and I think that's what makes us better when we play with that effort and attitude." – Wisconsin LB Derek Landisch, on underrated defense
"When you have a game like you did today, when you have a three game stretch like we have, I think that's probably a good thing. We've got to get better." – Rutgers coach Kyle Flood, on team being frustrated after loss to Wisconsin
