Some things to
watch in the Big Ten this weekend GAME OF THE WEEK Purdue at Missouri. The
Boilermakers take to the road for a matchup with Missouri, Purdue first game
against a Southeastern Conference foe since 2004. After dropping a tough 35-28
decision to Louisville at the home stadium of the Indianapolis Colts, the
Boilermakers rebounded at home last week with a 44-21 rout of Ohio and are
looking to sustain the momentum against the Tigers . Purdue first-year coach
Jeff Brohm says of Missouri A very good football team that has a lot of talent
and skill that plays in an outstanding conference. Brohm left Western Kentucky
with the goal of bringing the Boilermakers back to respectability after a 9-39
stretch over the past four years https://www.scarletknightscollegeshop.com/94-Knights_Sandy_Anya_Jersey.
BEST MATCHUP Iowa defense against North Texas QB Mason Fine. The Hawkeyes
yielded 41 points and 467 yards in a 44-41 overtime win over Iowa State last
week. Now they face a squad that amassed 91 points and 1,161 yards in two games
albeit against Lamar and SMU behind Fine, who completed 69 percent of his passes
for 648 yards and six TDs. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says, Offensively, theyre
very impressive. Theyve got very good skill players, very good speed and Im
really impressed with their quarterback. He reminds me of Matt McGloin, who
played for Penn State five years ago and played for the Raiders. He a sharp,
nifty, very efficient and smart quarterback. Seems to me he like does a really
good job of getting the ball where it should go, and he gets it there fast. So,
weve got a lot of work to do. BACK TO WORK Rutgers offensive coordinator Jerry
Kill will be on the sideline Saturday when the Scarlet Knights face Morgan State
. Kill was hospitalized Sunday after having a seizure, but coach Chris Ash says
the 56-year-old is fine. Were moving forward, Ash said. No concerns at all. It
was a minor setback. Were excited that Jerry is back in the office working.
Because Kill has dealt with epilepsy for almost two decades, Ash said, It
something that we all knew could potentially come up, and it did. But Jerry been
through this before. It not his first rodeo with it. INSIDE THE NUMBERS Ferentz
is six wins short of tying Hayden Fry for most by an Iowa coach. Now in his 19th
season at the school, Ferentz is 137-92. Penn State has reached the 30-point
mark in nine straight games https://www.scarletknightscollegeshop.com/18-Knights_Chris_Laviano_Jersey.
The Nittany Lions will seek to make it 10 in a row Saturday against Georgia
State. Maryland prolific offense shuts down for a week with an early bye. The
Terrapins have opened the season with two straight games with at least 50 points
for the first time in school history Kemoko
Turay Jersey. Michigan defense has scored three touchdowns in two games, and
the unit has only yielded two TDs. RECOVERY AID Illinois coach Lovie Smith hopes
the matchup between the unbeaten Illini and No. 22 South Florida on Friday night
will be a welcome diversion for several thousand Floridians still recovering
from the effects of Hurricane Irma. Hopefully football can take their minds off
some of the other things going on down there Isaiah
Wharton Jersey, Smith said. PLAYER TO WATCH Wisconsin true freshman Jonathan
Taylor leads the Big Ten with 310 yards rushing, and will strive to add to his
lofty 8.9 yards-per-carry average Saturday against Brigham Young. The moment
hasnt been too big for him, said Badgers coach Paul Chryst. The 6-foot,
205-pound Taylor rolled up 223 yards and three touchdowns last week against
Florida Atlantic.
