After getting off to a great start in non-conference play, No. 4 Penn State (7-1-0) opens up Big Ten play on the road at No. 17 Ohio State (4-2-0). Penn State is looking to avenge its overtime loss to the Buckeyes in the Big Ten Tournament last season,

In this episode of The Knight Report podcast, hosts Mike Broadbent, Richie O’Leary and Alec Crouthamel discuss everything Greg Schiano had to say in his weekly press conference ahead of the Illinois game.

Things heat up in the Big Ten in Week 5 with some notable ranked matchups, headlined by No. 5 Oregon visiting No. 2 Penn State. There was a ranked clash at the other end of the Top 25 as Illinois knocked off USC with a 41-yard field goal as time expired in Champaign.

A third of the Big Ten is on bye this week, but both Michigan and Michigan State are in action a week after their annual clash. Ohio State hosts Penn State in a matchup that looked much juicier in August and Indiana hits the road looking to stay perfect.

Will a week off benefit No. 23 Illinois as it enters the heart of Big Ten play? Or will Washington bounce back from a 24-7 loss to Michigan at The Big House and deal the Illini their third loss of the season?
