Finally, a Big Ten game worth dissecting. As much as everyone enjoyed in-depth breakdowns of Michigan-Indiana, Michigan State-Maryland and Iowa-Anybody, this is what college football is all about. No, it’s not about gigantic contracts and visually-impaired replay officials. It’s about classic showdowns between haughty national powers who annoy everybody else.
It’s Michigan-Penn State, time to find out who’s better and who’s blander. When these undefeated, top-10-ranked squads clash Saturday in the Big House, the country will get to witness the first compelling Big Ten game all season. It’s not the Wolverines’ and Nittany Lions’ fault the conference keeps trotting out sloppy posers.
