Stock Up/Down: Tennessee topples Alabama, Hendon Hooker's Heisman campaign grows, Michigan pounds Penn State and USC suffers its first defeat.
The Nittany Lions were just a seven-point underdog to Michigan entering the weekend. By the time the clocks hit zero, Penn State would’ve needed three touchdowns and a field goal just to send it to overtime against the Wolverines.
The Nittany Lions kept things close in the first half, trailing by just two points at halftime, but were outscored 25-3 in the final two frames as Penn State scored just one offensive touchdown all game and gave up 418 yards and four scores on the ground alone. There are certainly worse teams to lose to in the Big Ten, but Penn State doesn’t look like a major threat in the East after its latest performance.Four weeks into the season, Minnesota looked like the frontrunner to come out of the Big Ten West. Fortunes change fast in college football. After scoring a combined 24 points in their past two outings, the Gophers have suffered back-to-back conference defeats to Purdue and Illinois as they’ve begun to slip to toward the bottom of the Big Ten West standings. Injuries to offensive stars Tanner Morgan and Mohamed Ibrahim have helped lead to some of Minnesota’s struggles, but that doesn’t stop its stock from taking a hit after another loss.The Jayhawks’ Cinderella season has come crashing down in the past two weeks, as Lance Leipold’s squad has dropped back-to-back games after its 5-0 start to the season. Neither were particularly bad losses – a seven-point defeat to TCU and a 10-point loss to Oklahoma – but Kansas’ standing as a potential major player in the Big 12 has certainly suffered as a result. Now out of the AP poll, Kansas still has meetings with ranked Oklahoma State, Texas and Kansas State left in the regular season.
