Big Ten Week 2
« on: October 25, 2020, 08:49:16 AM »
Trying something new, a thread for the games to lead up to the actual games. 

Friday
Minnesota at Maryland, 7:30, ESPN

Minnesota probably needs a get right game after getting rolled by Michigan.  Maryland is just what the doctor ordered.

Saturday

Noon
MSU at Michigan, FOX - Sparty already in a hole and this doesn't look like a game made to stop the digging.

Purdue at Illinois, BTN - Purdue with a shot at 2-0.  Lovie going to find himself out the door if the Illini don't look competitive.

3:30
Wisconsin at Nebraska, FS1 - Things not getting much easier for the Huskers.
Indiana at Rutgers, BTN - Battle of first place teams in the B1G East
NW at Iowa, ESPN - Gonna see how legit Northwestern is, and where Iowa's heads are

7:30
OSU at PSU, ABC - Should be a heck of a game, Lions desperate for a win

Minnesota
Michigan
Illinois (upset)
Wisconsin
Indiana
NU
OSU


Minnesota could also lay an egg here. It would not shock me. All of Kill's/Claeys guys are gone on defense. They are not ELITE.

As always it is difficult to get a thorough read from the one game and especially this year given all of the cupcakes were off the schedule.

Secondly these teams did not have any recent film on each other so there were some big plays that were quite well schemed  for a long time but won’t carry over to the ongoing schedule.   

I was impressed by newcomers Mertz, Milton, McCaffery and several OSU receivers.    Also- Barrett on Michigan’s defense looked great.

Weird to think of game #2 as a "must win" situation but I think that it pretty much is for Penn State. 

Yesterday morning they were #8 and looking like they had a great chance to win the division with tOSU at home.

Now they are #18. If they lose Saturday night they'll be 0-2, likely unranked, and effectively (albeit not mathematically) eliminated from B1G-E contention.

If Mertz and Coan can't go, who will be the QB?
