B1G announces Players of the Week following Week 7 action
This might’ve been the most difficult weekend for the B1G in terms of narrowing down its selection for the Players of the Week. There were so many big-time performances, it had to be tough to choose.
But the conference came to a decision, some of which were split. And after a fun Saturday throughout the conference, the B1G has named the Week 7 Players of the Week.
