Big Ten football news: Week 3 takeaways and updated Big Ten power rankings for Ohio State, Indiana, USC, UCLA, Northwestern, Iowa, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon, and Rutgers. Which teams are changing expectations after Week 3?
JR and Zach break down what we learned about every Big Ten football team following a weekend of surprising performances, offensive explosions, defensive concerns, and important conference results.
Northwestern's win over Colorado has us reconsidering the Wildcats. UCLA's Wayne Knight keeps making an impact, and Iowa's offense is giving us reasons to rethink the Hawkeyes. But USC's defense, Ohio State's offensive line, and Indiana's defense still have questions to answer.
We also discuss Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz at Ohio State, Bryce Underwood at Michigan, Penn State's offensive production, Oregon's dominant win, Rutgers' quarterback struggles, and Michigan State's performance against Notre Dame.
Plus, we finish with our updated Big Ten power rankings, including where Nebraska, Illinois, Washington, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Maryland, and Purdue fit into the conference picture.
Join JR and Zach on The Big Ten Huddle as we debate the biggest Week 3 takeaways and what they mean for the rest of the college football season.
