Our mantra all off-season was someone has to lose these games, yet Jordan is still mad about it...

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s I-80 Football Show. On this show, we travel down I-80 to talk all things Big Ten Football. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.


After beating Ohio State, there was speculation that Oregon head coach Dan Lanning may have intentionally gotten a penalty for 12 men on the field based on a loophole in the rules. Jordan and Dante, give their opinions on whether Lanning did this on purpose, or was it more myth-making for a head coach who likes to be viewed as a genius. Regardless, the NCAA has closed the loophole, making it a dead ball penalty in the final two minutes of the half which then stops the clock.

While reviewing the games from the past weekend, Dante lectures Jordan about wanting his cake and eating it too. Should there be more respect given to Penn State for surviving USC, or was that a sign of them not being as good as expected for the third straight year? What does it say about Lincoln Riley that he keeps losing these games?

Illinois survives Purdue in a crazy game. Illinois gets a big win before playing Michigan, while Purdue may have found their quarterback of the future.

Oregon and Ohio State was an amazing game that delivered on all of its hype. Should Ryan Day be blamed for this loss, or was it just a great game between two national championship contenders?

For their MapQuest segment, the guys have Oregon vs. Purdue on Friday night as a must-watch at least for the half. Will we see the return of the spoilermakers? For the noon window, Indiana-Nebraska will be a banger, with Illinois-Michigan taking the 3:30 slot. There is only one primetime game, as Iowa plays Michigan State. You can have this one in the quadbox, but there are better national games you should watch.

In their pitstop, Jordan celebrates the cost of adult beverages in college towns vs. New York City as he prepares to go to Rutgers’ homecoming and watch the Scarlet Knights play UCLA in person.



If you like the show, please share it with friends and family and leave a five-star review. If you want to keep up with the show you can subscribe to the Land-Grant Podcast Network Feed where new episodes drop every Thursday.
