Congratulations. You deserved it. If Penn State wants to throw 4 picks, have a fumble, a punt block because everyone misses blocks and a safety, we don't deserve to win. We're just lucky our defense stopped you most of the time or it could've been a lot worse. Have a good season, Penn State is awful this year and so are like all the teams in it. I'm not sure if Iowa is the better team, they were, however, the better team that day.

Jimmy Clausen has been the best quarterback in the past 240 minutes of college football. Will he be invited to New York this year, or will the Tebow's of the nation get their pre-reserved seats?

Don't be shy.

Greetings Kevin-

As a Big Ten writer, I have a favor to ask you.

I just came out with my latest article on the Gophers game against #8 Cal this weekend. I would love your input, I'm currently trying to become a featured columnist for the Gophers football team. Your input would be awesome! Thanks!

-Brandon
