The second weekend of the Big 10 football season is loaded with early games, including Michigan hosting Oregon State in Jim Harbaugh’s home coaching debut and Wisconsin, coming off the loss to Alabama, looking to rebound in a home game against Miami of Ohio.
At 3:30 p.m. ET, No. 1 Ohio State welcomes Hawaii to Columbus, while Minnesota, which came close to upsetting No. 3 TCU in its opener, travels to Colorado State to take on the Rams.
Iowa and Iowa State kick off their rivalry at 4:45 p.m. ET in what could very well be another thrilling chapter to the annual matchup.
In the game of the week, No. 5 Michigan State hosts No. 7 Oregon in Spartan Stadium. The Ducks defeated the Spartans 46-27 last season in Eugene.
