With the exception of the Northwestern Wildcats, every other B1G team was in action on Saturday. Posting a record of 10-2, the only two teams to lose were Rutgers (at Iowa) and Nebraska (at Colorado).

Evidenced by this record, there were plenty of strong individual performances across the board. Trying to decide whom had the best weekend, the Big Ten Network crew offered their picks.

A bit of a questionable move, but former Ohio State assistant and Minnesota head coach Glen Mason selected the Buckeyes’ entire offensive line.

Racking up 270 of their 508 yards on the ground, Ohio State’s offensive line cleared lanes for J.K. Dobbins and Master Teague all afternoon. Running the football 46 times, the Buckeyes averaged 5.9 YPC in their 42-0 win over Cincinnati.

Former Ohio State linebacker Josh Perry picked Purdue wide receiver Rondale Moore. Catching 13 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown, Moore helped the Boilermakers get back to .500 with a 42-24 win over Vanderbilt. Through two games in 2019, the sophomore has caught 24 passes for 344 yards and two scores.

Lastly, lead studio host Dave Revsine went with Wisconsin quarterback Jack Coan. Throwing for 363 yards and three touchdowns, Coan completed nearly 79% of his passes in the Badgers’ 61-0 victory over Central Michigan.

Beginning the season with consecutive shutouts, Wisconsin has outscored their opponents, 110-0. Taking advantage of this softer schedule, Coan is 45-59 for 564 yards and five touchdowns this year.
