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. This is the only Big Ten Podcast that’ll cover all 18 teams. 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 attending Rutgers homecoming, Jordan is back on the podcast to break down his experience starting with UCLA having a near-perfect day on offense against a once-good Rutgers defense. For the last five weeks, UCLA looked like a program that wasn’t going to win another game all season but the cross-country travel couldn't stop an offensive explosion that say quarterback Etha Garber accounted for over 400 yards of offense and five touchdowns. Despite the disappointing showing by the home team, Rutgers threw a good tailgate as their homecoming looked way more fun than actually going to the game. 

In their picks segment the guys had a rough week going 2-5 due in part to USC and Lincoln Riley losing another game in which they led in the fourth quarter. While not originally his idea Jordan takes a moment to break down the similarities between Lincoln Riley and Rich Rod. Michigan and USC both thought they had a homerun hire but in the end, they may have struck out. This fun but weird season delivered again as Indiana beat Nebraska 56-7, Michigan State upset Iowa and Illinois bullied Michigan despite them having a week off to prepare their third starting quarterback of the season. 

In the MapQuest segment, we have a late-night game between Rutgers and USC on Friday kicking off at 11 pm EST after game one of the World Series. On Saturday we have Ohio State - Nebraska at noon. Illinois-Oregon midday and Penn State-Wisconsin in primetime. We’ll also be keeping an eye on Michigan-Michigan State. Iowa is a better team and MSU found a way to win, can they continue the momentum against their biggest rival?

For their weekly pitstop, Jordan is celebrating New York's recent NWSL and WNBA championships. Can New York continue the magic and win the Yankees' 28th World Series? Dante continues the trend of talking Steelers by celebrating their big win with Russell Wilson at quarterback after finally getting healthy.
