per Luke:
After a bye, Ibrahim should be back to resume his streak against Illinois’ nationally acclaimed defense in a huge matchup of B1G West 1-loss teams.
He pounded through Iowa in a 9-6 slugfest victory, carrying 31 times for 146 yards.
Minnesota visits this Saturday for a battle of tough-guy running backs.
Averaging a Power 5-best 146.5 rushing yards per game, Brown has Bret Bielema’s Illini rolling. Imagine the hype that would be emanating from Champaign if Illinois (5-1) hadn’t stubbed its toe against Indiana in Week 2.

4. Mohamed Ibrahim, RB, Minnesota
Ibrahim’s value was never more evident than when he sat out with an ankle injury in Week 5. With his streak of 100-yard rushing games stuck on 13, No. 21 Minnesota scored only 10 points vs. Purdue and lost for the first time this season.After a bye, Ibrahim should be back to resume his streak against Illinois’ nationally acclaimed defense in a huge matchup of B1G West 1-loss teams.

Ohio State has the best players. And the best player. No wonder the Buckeyes are 6-0 and No. 2 in the country.
