10/6 Saturday: Penn State at Michigan 9pm 

Game of the Week (Michigan State at Ohio State 10/7 @ 12pm): Both the Buckeyes and Spartans have stumbled into Big Ten play in 2012 and a victory would be crucial in climbing up the conference table. After coming off devastating double overtime losses the two squads will need to muster up the motivation to earn the three points. Michigan State continues to struggle scoring goals, while Ohio State’s defense is as secure as the creaky bridge in “The Temple of Doom”. The victors will be back in the title mix while the loser could be in panic mode for the remainder of the season.
