TOP STORIES

WEEK 7 RESULTS

The Race for Division Championships: After three

weeks of Big Ten play, two teams from each divi-

sion boast unblemished records, standing atop

their respective divisions. In the Legends Division,

Iowa and Michigan have each opened the confer-

ence season with a pair of victories, while

Northwestern is in third at 2-1. Nebraska had a bye

last week and remains 1-1 in conference play. OhioState and Penn State hold undefeated marks in the

Leaders Division, with the Buckeyes winning their

first three conference games of the season, while

the Nittany Lions were off last weekend and boast

a 2-0 Big Ten record. Wisconsin is third in the

standings, having won its last two conference

games for a 2-1 mark in Big Ten action.

More Division Matchups: This weeks slate of Big

Ten matchups features five conference contests,

including three intra-division showdowns. In the

Legends Division, Michigan and Nebraska open

divisional play, the last teams to begin their divi-

sion schedules, as the Wolverines host in-state

rival Michigan State, while the Cornhuskers travel

to Northwestern. In the Leaders Division, OhioState hosts Purdue in the second division game for

each team. As part of divisional play, the Big Ten

instituted a tiebreaker to determine the Big Ten

Football Championship Game participants, if nec-

essary. After head-to-head matchups, the next tie-

breaker is records within the division, which makes

winning divisional games an important part of the

Big Ten title chase. See Page 11 of this release for

the full tiebreaker.

Lucky Seven: Ohio State held off Indiana on

Saturday for its seventh straight win to start the

2012 season. The Buckeyes are one of just two

teams in the country, joining Ohio, to hold 7-0

records, and are one of just 12 teams in the country

with an unblemished mark this year. Head coach

Urban Meyer became the third coach in program

history to win seven straight contests to begin histenure. It marks just the third time since 1946 a Big

Ten coach has won seven or more games in his

debut season, following former Ohio State coach

Earle Bruce, who won 11 straight in 1979, and for-

mer Michigan coach Bennie Oosterbaan, who post-

ed a perfect 9-0 season in 1948.

Hes a Ball-er: Wisconsin running back Montee

Ball had a career day against Purdue on

Saturday, leading to record-setting results. With

247 yards and three touchdowns, Ball became

the Big Tens all-time leader in total touchdowns

and points, overtaking the previous marks set by

former Badger Ron Dayne. Ball boasts 72 touch-

downs and 434 points in his career, bettering the

former standards of 71 and 426, respectively,from Dayne. Ball ranks third in conference histo-

ry with 66 rushing scores, needing six more

touchdowns to pass Daynes record of 71 career

rushing scores. Just the third player in Football

Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history to score 70 or

more touchdowns, Ball is six total scores away

from matching the all-time FBS record of 78,

held by Travis Prentice of Miami (Ohio).

BIG TEN FOOTBALL WEEKLY RELEASE - WEEK 8 2

Bowl-ieve It: With its victory over Minnesota on Saturday, Northwestern notched its sixth win of

the season, becoming bowl eligible for the sixth consecutive campaign. Northwestern has earned

bowl invitations 10 times previously in program history, with seven berths since 2000. The

Wildcats have appeared in a postseason bowl four seasons in a row. Wisconsin is one victory

away from cementing its bowl eligibility after defeating Purdue on Saturday to improve its record

to 5-2 this season. The Badgers eye their 24th bowl appearance in program history, having

appeared in the postseason in each of the last 10 seasons.

An Exclusive Club: Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz guided the Hawkeyes to a double-over-

time victory over Michigan State on Saturday, giving the longest-tenured coach in the Big

Ten his 100th victory on the Iowa sidelines. He is the 12th coach in conference history to

win 100 or more games while a member of the Big Ten and is the second Hawkeye mentor

to reach the 100-wins mark, joining former coach Hayden Fry, who won 143 games in his

20-year tenure on the Iowa bench.

Another Week of Achievements: Michigans Denard Robinson continued his drive through Big

Ten and NCAA record books following his performance against Illinois on Saturday. With 287 yards

of total offense, Robinson became just the eighth player in Big Ten history to reach 10,000 yards

of offense, and the fifth conference player to accomplish the feat since 2005. In addition, with

two rushing scores and two passing strikes on Saturday, he became the second Big Ten player in

history, and eighth in NCAA annals, to rush for 40 touchdowns and throw for 40 more. Now with

41 career rushing scores and 49 passing touchdowns, Robinson joins former Indiana quarterback

Antwaan Randle El as the only two players to achieve the feat in Big Ten history.

Road Warriors: Four of the five conference matchups were won by road teams on Saturday, giv-

ing road squads a winning record through the first three weeks of conference play. All three road

teams won in the early afternoon games on Saturday, as Iowa knocked off Michigan State in dou-

ble overtime, while Northwestern held off Minnesota and Wisconsin defeated Purdue. On

Saturday night, Ohio State gave the road contingent its fourth victory of the weekend after

defeating Indiana. Overall, Big Ten road teams own an 8-7 mark in conference games, with Ohio

State enjoying a 2-0 road record, while Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State are each

1-0 in conference road games, with Northwestern and Wisconsin splitting their two road contests

this season.

Twice Over the Century: Finding itself down 18 points at 52-34 with less than two minutes

to play against Ohio State, Indiana rallied to close within three before ultimately falling 52-49

on Saturday. It marks the second consecutive week Big Ten teams have combined for more

than 100 points in a single game, with both contests involving Ohio State. The Buckeyes

defeated Nebraska on Oct. 6, 63-38, to match the 101 total points combined on Saturday

night between Ohio State and Indiana. It marks the second time in three seasons that Big Ten

teams have combined for 100 or more points in consecutive weeks. On Nov. 6, 2010,Michigan defeated Illinois, 67-65 in triple overtime, a week before Wisconsin defeated

Indiana, 83-20, on Nov. 13, 2010.

Trophy Games: This weekend, two of the longest running series in the Big Ten will be renewed

and each will have one of the conferences 16 traveling trophies at stake. The longest running

series in the country will stage its 122nd matchup when Wisconsin hosts Minnesota in the annual

battle for Paul Bunyans Axe. The Gophers and Badgers have battled for the axe since 1948, with

Wisconsin holding a 38-23-3 advantage and a current eight-game winning streak. Michigan and

Michigan State will meet for the 105th time overall and the 60th time with the Paul Bunyan tro-

phy up for grabs. The Wolverines own a 34-23-2 advantage in trophy games, but Michigan State

has won the last four contests.
