He surpassed his previous career high in tackles by five as Ohio State bent but didn't break. Thumbs up, Ross Homan - One of several standout defenders for Ohio State against Wisconsin, Homan recorded a career-high 15 tackles, including two sacks, and had a forced fumble and a pass breakup. Michigan failed to mark Moeaki and paid the price as he hauled in easy touchdown passes of 34 and 42 yards. Thumbs down, Michigan's linebackers and safeties - A tight end should never get as open as Iowa's Tony Moeaki did on Saturday night, much less twice. Whaley sparked the run game with 79 rush yards and a touchdown on only eight carries (9.9 ypc). Thumbs up, Kevin Whaley- Minnesota fans had been clamoring to see more of the redshirt freshman running back, and they got their wish against Purdue. The Hoosiers recorded only two sacks and allowed 47 points and 536 total yards in an embarrassing loss. Thumbs down, Indiana's defensive line - Facing a Virginia team that ranked 119th nationally in sacks allowed, Indiana failed to capitalize on a favorable matchup. Bowman has been brilliant since his return from a groin injury and had two tackles for loss and a 91-yard fumble return for a touchdown. The Lions defensive tackle recorded 3.5 tackles for loss, including two sacks, and broke up a pass in Penn State's 52-3 win.
Thumbs up, Jared Odrick and Navorro Bowman - Sure, it came against Eastern Illinois, but Odrick finally turned in a dominant performance.
Note: most of the thumbs up go to players or units I haven't already recognized (helmet stickers, players of the week, etc.)
Kudos and criticism from last week's Big Ten games.
