Welcome back to KickStart! In this Week 12 episode, we're diving into some intriguing matchups and potential trap games.
First up, Michigan faces Maryland at noon on FOX. Is this a trap game for the Wolverines, reminiscent of last year's Michigan/Illinois showdown?
Meanwhile, Maryland is riding high after a game-winning performance against Nebraska.
At noon on BTN, we have a battle for the bottom as MSU takes on IU. With both teams coming off losses to OSU and Illinois, will this be a game worth watching?
Next, Purdue clashes with Northwestern on BTN at noon. Northwestern and four other teams are technically still in the West race, and Purdue is looking to build on its massive win against Minnesota.
Rutgers visits Penn State at noon on FS1, with Rutgers seeming to slide since September.
Can Penn State capitalize on the momentum from firing Mike Yurcich? Then, at 3:30 pm on FS1, Illinois faces Iowa.
A win for Iowa locks up the Big Ten West, but Illinois is making a switch at quarterback, going back to Luke Altmyer.
At 4 pm on BTN, Minnesota takes on Ohio State. Is this a potential trap game for the Buckeyes, or will they continue their dominance after Purdue dismantled the Gophers? We'll keep an eye on key players like Cade Stover and Emeka Egbuka.
Finally, the nightcap at 7:30 pm on NBC features Nebraska against Wisconsin. With both teams on losing streaks, is there any reason to tune in after the Iowa game?
