Big Ten awards were handed out for a memorable slate of Week 10 games that included Ohio State’s dramatic victory at Penn State.

Meanwhile, Oregon stayed atop the college football world in its first season in the Big Ten with a victory at Michigan. Indiana also remained college football’s darling of 2024 by staying unbeaten with a rout at Michigan State.

Now, as we get set for Week 11, here are the weekly honors handed out by the B1G:

Johnson had his 7th 100-yard game of the season, piling up 135 yards on 24 carries and 3 touchdowns in the Hawkeyes’ 42-10 pounding of Wisconsin. Johnson scored a touchdown for the 9th straight game, which is the longest streak in Iowa history.

Defensive Player of the Week
