It is another big week in conference play, especially in the Legend's Division. Nebraska can take another step towards Indianapolis, while more teams can become bowl eligible with wins.
Iowa at Indiana Saturday @ 3:30pm
The Hawkeyes just seem lifeless this season. Most people expected Vandenberg to be one of the conference's best quarterbacks, but that is just turning out not to be the case. They have had issues keeping running backs healthy, and lately their defense is struggling to stop opponents rushing attacks. Indiana looks much improved in just Coach Wilson's second year. Their offense is unique and difficult to stop, even with the limited talent on the roster. I think Indiana can score enough points at home to knock off Iowa, and right now in the season I dont trust the Hawkeyes to put up 25 points.
Nebraska at Michigan State Saturday @ 3:30pm
This is the marquee game of the week in the conference. As a Michigan fan you root hard for Michigan State in this game to knock off the very average Huskers. On a side note though, I am not confident in Michigan to win the remaining games on their schedule. Anyways, Nebraska did not impress me on either side of the ball last weekend. I was more impressed with the big blue defense and appauled at the monstrositry that was the maize and blue offense. Michigan State looked backed into a corner with little life left late in Madison last week, but they fought back to force overtime and eventually with the game on the road. It was honestly one of the most impressive wins in the Dantonio era. I think the Spartans can carry that momentum back home with them this weekend against Big Red. Nebraska has not looked very good on the road this season, and I think the Michigan State defense continues that trend. Michigan State in a close game, winning in OT or on a late field goal.
Illinois at Ohio State Saturday @ 3:30pm
Ohio State is the conference's best team and Illinois is by far the worst team. This one will get out of hand quickly, and if Meyer is smart Braxton will get some rest in this game.
Penn State at Purdue Saturday @ 3:30pm
Purdue has been absolutely terrible in conference play so far, and it looks like Danny Hope will not be able to turn things around enough to keep his job at the end of the year. Penn State is coming off of a loss at home, and will be looking to bounce back. I think Penn State is just far superior to the Boilers in this one, and it looks like Purdue has given up on the season already.
