Todd Boeckman: Named Big Ten Player of the Game. Passed the ball around and moved the chains all night long. Completed 73.1% of the 26 passes he made. With three touchdown throws, one each to Brian Robiskie, Brian Hartline, and Jake Ballard. Ray Small got 2 catches for 66 yards with one long 60 yard catch early one.

Rory Nicol: Also involved in the passing attach catching six passes and steamrolling players for extra yardage when needed.

Brian Hartline: He wanted the end-zone when he caught a pass outside the 10 yard line and sprinted past the pylon with incredibly urgency.

Malcolm Jenkins: Deja Vu. Malcolm picked off Anthony Morelli one more time before they both head off to the NFL and scored on the pick with a 24 yard return.

Marcus Freeman: Has really become the most visible of the three linebackers since Ross Homan went down with an injury. Had a team high 14 total tackles.
