Week 1 presented itself with its share of ups and downs for the Big Ten — just like any conference.
Teams like Purdue and Michigan suffered losses to start the season and Nebraska didn’t even get to play in its game due to weather issues. But for the other 11 teams, wins were had and 1-0 records are attached to those programs.
As with any week, incredible plays were made as well. And especially since it was Week 1, these plays almost seemed even greater than your usual top plays. Football is finally back and the Big Ten Network captured it all.
On Sunday, BTN released its top plays from the opening weekend of college football:
A must-see punt return ✅
An incredible individual effort ✅
A walk-off INT ✅

Again, it may be Week 1, but nobody will forget Penn State knocking off Appalachian State in overtime and Maryland’s Jeshaun Jones’ first half display of greatness in his first collegiate game.
We can’t wait for Week 2.
