Bleav in Big Ten

Rhett Lewis and Tom Hannifan recap the weekend action in the Big Ten and preview the upcoming matchups. They begin by discussing Indiana's gritty win over Michigan, which improved their record to 10-0. This victory marked Indiana's closest margin of the season, and they emphasized the minimal offensive output in the second half. Looking ahead to their matchup against Ohio State, Rhett and Tom debate whether Indiana needs to perform flawlessly to secure a playoff spot. Tom questions whether Indiana indeed passes the "eye test," while Rhett counters with strong arguments asserting that they are legitimate contenders.
Next, they focus on Rutgers' significant win, noting how the team gains momentum as they recover from injuries. They also highlight UCLA's impressive victory over Iowa. The discussion then shifts to Penn State's comeback after losing to Ohio State; they bounced back with a win against Washington. Tom believes that Penn State, led by Tyler Warren, still has the potential to compete for a national championship.
Finally, they shift their attention to the West, discussing Dillon Gabriel's record-breaking performances for Oregon.
