Michigan QB Tate Forcier’s status for Saturday’s game has been in question since sustaining a mild concussion against Iowa. Forcier has been undergoing tests in Ann Arbor with the hopes of being able to play this weekend.

This is a strong move for the Big 10 as the conference has a lot to prove based on its poor...

Ohio State’s Daniel “Boom” Herron’s ankle sprain continues to haunt the star running back. As you recall, Boom suffered a high ankle sprain earlier in the season when the Buckeyes trounced the Illini back in September.
