Big Ten football Week 7 television schedule, key facts
Week 6 of the college football season is in the books and the Ohio State Buckeyes are coming off of another impressive victory against another Big Ten opponent in the Maryland Terrapins, 66-17. Ohio State is entering its bye week along with a few other Big Ten teams and looking to use the time to rest and get healthy, but we wanted to provide the details of the upcoming week in Big Ten football.
The league had a pretty incredible game between Iowa and Penn State last week, but this one is a little more ho-hum, though there are still some pretty good games to watch. After all, it’s football, so, we’re game no matter what.
