In this episode of the Big Ten Huddle, we dive into an Illinois wide receivers update, discussing the progress of key players like Hudson Clement, Brayden Trimble, and Justin Bowick. We also break down a recent critique from an anonymous Big Ten defensive coordinator about Drew Allar, who claims it’s Penn State's system, not Allar himself, that’s the true threat. Then, we cover the retirement of longtime CBS broadcaster and SEC advocate Gary Danielson and its impact on college football. Plus, what’s going on with Mel Tucker? The Michigan State coach has gone missing, leaving his future in doubt. Finally, we debate who has the most to prove in the Big Ten, focusing on names like James Franklin, David Braun, Luke Altmyer, Luke Fickell, Julian Sayin, Sherrone Moore, and Dylan Raiola.Vote in our Big Ten head coaches' wrestling rankings: https://forms.gle/nGQos2gHPAJ7WebSAAdditional The Big Ten Huddle Channels:@TheBigTenHuddleBasketball@TheOhioStateHuddle TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 - Intro and welcome00:06:18 - Ohio State QB Battle00:13:18 - Is Drew Allar a System QB?00:25:39 - Gary Danielson Retiring00:34:35 - Mel Tucker is Missing00:43:20 - Maryland00:46:49 - Northwestern00:48:52 - Illinois00:50:27 - Michigan State00:52:45 - Penn State00:55:00 - Indiana00:57:14 - Washington00:59:25 - Iowa01:01:25 - Wisconsin01:03:00 - UCLA01:05:58 - Ohio State01:07:55 - Michigan01:09:25 - Minnesota01:10:15 - Nebraska01:15:40 - USC01:16:45 - Rutgers01:20:25 - Oregon01:23:02 - PurdueMore from JR:Personal Twitter: https://x.com/jrs_rankingsBig Ten Twitter: https://x.com/TheBigTenHuddleRead JR's Ohio State coverage: https://x.com/jrs_rankingsListen to JR on Ohio State (Most Sundays at 8 pm ET): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb18UD0A7PPUktICZC3ehCgListen to JR on Illinois (Monday episodes): https://www.youtube.com/@LockedOnIlliniListen to JR on Iowa (Monday afternoons): https://x.com/1600ESPNBig Ten Basketball Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBigTenHuddleBasketballSPONSORSCoach's Film Room - Sign up for the Menace Army: Colonel tier at https://menace2sports.com/channels/coachs-film-room College Huddle - https://thecollegehuddle.com/Homefield - https://www.homefieldapparel.com/?rfsn=7872586.e3e1d25 | Coupon Code: TBTHCatch The Big Ten Huddle Football Episodes 3 times a week.
