Join hosts JR and Zach in Part 2 of the Big Ten Week 4 preview on The Big Ten Huddle, where they dissect four can't-miss matchups with sharp analysis, score predictions, and hot takes. Kicking off with Purdue at Notre Dame (7:30), they hail Purdue's gritty turnaround under Barry Odom—hanging tough vs. USC despite three picks from QB Ryan Brown—while questioning Notre Dame's defensive woes post-Al Golden (now with the Bengals). Both foresee a ND win but far from last year's 66-0 rout: JR picks 34-17, Zach 38-26, citing Brown's mobility as Purdue's X-factor against ND's shaky secondary.
Shifting to Maryland at Wisconsin (12:00), the "hot seat bowl" pits Mike Locksley against a deflated Luke Fickell, whose sideline zen feels more resigned than fired up. JR flags WI's secondary struggles (Ricardo Hallman underwhelming) vs. MD's syncing receivers and freshman QB Malik Washington, with the line moving to WI -10.5. They debate if MD keeps it close in Camp Randall's cauldron.
The sneaky gem: Iowa at Rutgers (20:00), a Friday night Piscataway blackout banger. Rutgers under Greg Schiano eyes its first-ever win over Iowa; Zach loves the Scarlet Knights' personnel edge and home magic (hanging with Washington last year), picking 28-20 in a grind-it-out affair where QB Athan Kaliakmanis controls the clock.
Wrapping with Michigan at Nebraska (26:00)—the "split natty bowl" nodding to '97 lore—both ride the Huskers' hype train. Matt Rhule's squad boasts the nation's stingiest pass D (66 yds/g allowed) and elite OL holding Dante Corelleone in check. Dylan Raiola's efficiency shines in nickel-and-dime drives, while JR worries Sherrone Moore's crew over-relies on erratic deep balls from Bryce Underwood. Zach: 26-24 Nebraska (FG walk-off); JR: 28-20 Huskers, vaulting Raiola into Heisman chatter.
