Big Ten Week 6 Preview and Some Don Brown Coach Speak

Not a great weekend for Big Ten premier games.   In fact, there really isn't any.  So picking a Big Ten game of the week is going to be difficult.

Big Ten Game of The Week:

Iowa @ Minnesota (Iowa -7):  Minnesota rows the boat much better at home then they do on the road and Iowa is always a sneaky good team.   This game might be for the runner up in the Big Ten West as most believe Wisconsin will be the team to beat in that division.  I think Iowa is the much better team.  Iowa 21 Minnesota 10

Indiana @ Ohio State (OSU -26.5):  OSU beat Penn State because they have a coach who doesn't understand game day strategy.   Urban Meyer might be not understand what it means to be a leader off the field, but is great when it comes to understanding where his team needs to improve.  He knows he was a couple plays away from losing that game and that drives him crazy.  IU is going to take the brunt of that frustration this weekend.  OSU 48 IU 14

Northwestern @ Michigan State (MSU -10.5):  Northwestern is better then its record and MSU really hasn't been impressive at all this year.   If Northwestern didn't have a State of Michigan phobia, I think they could upset the Spartans.  Low scoring game.  MSU 17 NW 14

Illinois @ Rutgers (Ill -4.5):  Lots of point but not a lot of good football.   Illinois 34 Rutgers 21

That's it folks!

  • Don Brown said a few interesting this during his press conference (bold is mine): You end up in a football game and you’re in a dogfight and you wake up and you’re down 17-0 on the road. Ok? So you look at that and say, ‘Alright, that’s not a good thing.’ And it’s not ok. Wake Up is right!   On the slats in the NW game:   So I’m not gonna stand here and say, geez we did a great job. But they completed 3-of-5 for 23 yards in the first half, 2-of-4 for 22 yards in the second half. ---- We’ve played two Big Ten games, ok? We have 10 sacks and 24 TFLs, but we don’t get held. Take a look and compare that with the other teams in our league, ok? So, that one’s a little tough.  Hello, Big Ten we have an issue here!  Sorry we missed that one is not going to do it anymore!  Come on Warde!
