Zach Brown of Wisconsin needs to be benched. I've never seen someone fumble as much as he does. Horribly, horribly costly fumble just put Minnesota back in the game.

After the return TD, it's now a one score game. The 2-point conversion just made it 21-24.

The workhorse -- And honestly, he should get all the carries.

Looks like we're in for dramatic finishes both here and at Michigan.

Decker is f**king money.

I cant wait until the cal and usc game.

How does Gerheart fit with our team? Any thoughts? And where is he expected to be drafted?

Which game should i watch, penn state vs illinois or notre dame vs washington? i kind of want to see the 2 qbs locker and clausen play, but i really want to see benn play.

Jake Locker vs. Jimmy Clausen is on NBC now!

Made clutch plays all game, but it just wasn't enough with Weber doing so much to cost Minny victory.

Both! Flip back and forth.

At this point, anywhere from the late 2nd to the 4th.

Im a big fan of jake locker. he just ran for a td a few minutes ago.

i think benn would be having a better season if juice williams could get him the ball. i dont know what happened to the guy, he was a pretty good qb last year but this year hes been crap.

Decker belongs in the first round.

I like what I see from Clausen and Locker.

Both do a good job of tucking it and getting out of trouble when plays break down and the pocket collapses.
