A Look at the Spartans: A dominant defense has been one of Michigan States hallmarks this season. Ranking among the national leaders in numerous defensive categories, the Spartans enter the Big Ten Football Championship Game having held five of their conference opponents to six points or less, all of which have come in their last six games. Linebacker Max Bullough, defensive end Shilique Calhoun and defensive back Darqueze Dennard anchor a defense that ranks first nationally in rushing and total defense. While the Michigan State defense has been a mainstay all season, the Michigan State offense improved throughout the season and is averaging nearly 30 points per contest. Running back Jeremy Langford has rushed for more than 100 yards in seven straight games. Three receivers have caught more than 30 passes each for first-year starter Connor Cook.
streak in history, equaling the 24 straight triumphs by the 1903-05 Minnesota squads. The Buckeyes also notched a 16th straight conference win, tied for the sixth longest stretch among conference games only in Big Ten history. BCS Rankings: Three Big Ten programs are ranked among the top 25 in the latest Bowl Championship Series (BCS) standings, including two among the top 10. Ohio State improved to 12-0 to move up one spot to No. 2 in the BCS poll, the Buckeyes highest placement since ending the 2007 campaign at No. 1 overall. Michigan State picked up its 11th win and rose one slot to No. 10 in the BCS poll, the Spartans highest ranking since being ranked No. 9 on Dec. 5, 2010. Wisconsin made its sixth straight appearance in the BCS poll and stands at No. 21 in the BCS standings. Stat Champions: With the end of the regular season comes the announcement of the annual stat champions for the 2013 season among conference games only. Ohio States Carlos Hyde finished as the Big Ten rushing leader, averaging 156.1 yards per game, becoming the first Buckeye to lead the conference since Chris Wells in 2007. Hyde also finished the season as the conference scoring leader at 11.2 points per game, equaling his Big Ten-leading mark from a season ago. Teammate Braxton Miller led the conference in pass efficiency with a rating of 164.5, the first Buckeye since Terrelle Pryor led the Big Ten in 2008. Miller also becomes the first Ohio State player to lead the Big Ten in total offense since Bobby Hoying in 1995 after averaging 295 yards of offense per game. For the second year in a row, Penn States Allen Robinson led the conference in receptions and receiving yards per game, finished with 8.9 catches and 123 yards per game. He is the first Big Ten player to lead the conference in receptions in consecutive years since Purdues Dorien Bryant in 2005 and 2006 and the first to lead the Big Ten in receiving yards in back to back years since Purdues Brian Alford in 1996 and 1997. Setting Attendance Records: The Big Ten established a new conference record for total attendance among all games and conference games only this season. After welcoming more than 430,000 fans to conference venues last weekend, the Big Ten has seen 6,061,514 fans come through the turnstiles this season, breaking the old conference record of 6,008,124 fans in the 2011 season. In addition, 3,414,448 patrons attended the 48 Big Ten contests this season, passing the old mark of 3,408,963 that was also set in 2011. The Big Ten averaged 70,483 fans per game among all games, while seeing that number increase to 71,134 fans per game during conference games only, marks that each rank among the top 10 in conference history.
A Look at the Buckeyes: The Buckeyes are one of the nations most balanced teams, ranking among the national top 20 in numerous offensive and defensive categories. On the offensive end, Ohio State has scored 40 or more points in 10 games this season and 50 or more in five of those contests. The Buckeyes are averaging 48.2 points per game and average better than 530 yards per game, both among the top six in the nation. Braxton Miller and Carlos Hyde are among the Big Tens leaders in rushing, with Hyde averaging a conference-best 143 yards per contest. The Buckeye defense has been equal to the effort of their offense, appearing among the national leaders in scoring, rushing and total defense. Ryan Shazier is the conference leader in tackles and tackles for loss per game, while Noah Spence and Michael Bennett are ranked among the top three in the conference in sacks per game. A talented secondary is led by Bradley Roby, who is among the conference leaders in passes defended this season. Eight-for-Eight: Michigan State and Ohio State each posted victories in their regular-season finales to finish their Big Ten slates with perfect 8-0 records. It marks the first time two teams finished the Big Ten schedule with perfect conference slates since Iowa and Ohio State did so in 2002, when the Hawkeyes appeared in the Orange Bowl and the Buckeyes earned a berth in the BCS National Championship Game. Prior to 2002, the last time the Big Ten had two teams finish the year with perfect conference records was in 1943 when Michigan and Purdue were each 6-0. Twenty-Four: Ohio State continued to build on its school-record winning streak after knocking off Michigan last Saturday. The Buckeyes have now won 24 straight games, which is the longest active winning streak in the nation. It marks the longest winning streak by a Big Ten team in more than 60 years and matches the conferences fourth-longest
