• Tough two weeks for Iowa. In defensive showdowns, the Hawkeyes lost 10-3 at Michigan before falling 17-12 to Penn State at home this past week. Their schedule gives them a break with another home game against Purdue on Saturday. But opening November at Wisconsin and then playing host the Gophers muddles their West title hopes.
Week 7 MVP
Jack Plummer, QB, Purdue
The backup has been more than serviceable for a Boilermakers team that really needed a boost after three consecutive losses. His mobility gave the Gophers a late scare in Week 5, but in Purdue's 40-14 beating of Maryland on Saturday, Plummer completed 33 of 41 passes for 420 yards and three touchdowns. Plummer should finish the season for injured starter Elijah Sindelar.
