State of Ohio earned their best win of the season at Penn State on Saturday. The Buckeyes saw the Nittany Lions score 10 points and still managed to win 20-13. Ohio State’s offense still hasn’t lived up to expectations, but that defense showed up in a big way.

No matter, Indiana rolled off 47 straight points and absolutely dominated to improve their record to 9-0.

There isn’t much to say about Michigan that hasn’t been said before. The quarterback position is still an issue, although it looked more competent in their 38-17 loss to Oregon. They won’t fall too far because of who they played.
