    BIG TEN FOOTBALL WEEKLY RELEASE - WEEK 4 2

    HONORING LEGENDS. BUILDING LEADERS.In the latest AVCA Division I Coaches Poll, nine Big Ten volleyball teams appeared among the top 25,

    the rst me a conference has had nine teams appear in the top 25 in the polls 21-year history.

    Where We Rank: Five Big Ten teams appear

    among the top 25 in the latest Associated Press

    (AP) or USA Today coaches polls. Ohio State

    improved to 3-0 with a win at California and tops

    the conference at No. 4 among the media and No.

    3 among the coaches. Michigan and Northwestern

    also won their third straight games to open the

    season, with the Wolverines ranked No. 15 in the

    AP and No. 14 in the USA Today polls and the

    Wildcats rated No. 18 in the media and No. 16 in

    the coaches votes. Wisconsin is ranked No. 24 by

    the media and is receiving votes from the coaches,

    while Michigan State cracks the top 25 for the first

    time this season at No. 24 in the USA Today poll

    while receiving votes in the AP rankings. The

    Spartans appear among the top 25 for the first

    time since Sept. 23, 2012. Nebraska is also receiv-

    ing votes in both polls.

    Opening Division Play: Saturdays Purdue-

    Wisconsin contest is the first divisional matchup of

    the 2013 season. Each school in the two six-team

    divisions will play the other five schools within its

    own division and will face three teams from the

    other, including one guaranteed cross-division

    matchup. The team or teams with the best overall

    conference record in each division will earn the

    division championship. However, divisional record

    plays an important role in determining the partici-

    pants for the Big Ten Football Championship

    Game, serving as the second tiebreaker behind

    head-to-head matchups (see Page 11).

    Three in a Row: Five Big Ten programs have put

    together three-game winning streaks to start the

    season, the most undefeated conference squads

    through three weeks since 2010. Michigan,

    Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern and

    Ohio State are each 3-0 this year. The quintet is

    among a group of 17 Football Bowl Subdivision

    teams in the country who have started the 2013campaign with three straight victories. Each Big

    Ten team will be in action this weekend, looking

    to conclude non-conference play with a perfect

    4-0 record.

    History of 3-0: The five conference squads have

    made it a habit of starting their seasons with

    extensive winning streaks. Michigan has opened

    with three straight victories for the fourth time in

    five seasons, having won at least four straight to

    open the 2009, 2010 and 2011 seasons. Michigan

    State has strung together three straight victories

    to start the year for the first time since 2010,

    while Minnesota is off to a 3-0 start for the second

    consecutive season. For the fourth time in six sea-

    sons, and second straight, Northwestern has put

    together a three-game season-opening win streak

    and Ohio State has won three straight games to

    start the season for the second year in a row.

    Land of 10,000 Yards: After passing for more

    than 200 yards against UCLA last Saturday,

    Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez went

    over 10,000 yards of total offense in his career,

    becoming just the ninth Big Ten player in history

    to reach the landmark. In his first three years in

    Lincoln, Martinez, who boasts 10,068 yards of

    total offense in his career, has averaged 3,150

    yards of total offense per season and is averag-

    ing nearly 210 yards of total offense per game

    through three contests in 2013. For a look at

    where current Big Ten standouts rank among

    the conferences all-time stat leaders, turn to

    Page 4 of this release.

    Offensive Proficiency: Big Ten offenses rank

    among the nations best in numerous statistical

    categories with at least four among the top 30

    ond season of the conferences nine-game slate, will

    son when Indiana hosts Ohio State on Sept. 2.

    ing two each from Indiana and Northwestern.

The Big Tens enhanced football awards pro-gram presents 18 individual trophies in addition to theBig Ten Championship trophy, bearing the names of oneor two former standouts. The distinguished names onthese football awards honor just a small sampling of the

    Seventeen of the honors will be awarded immediatelyfollowing the regular season, including awards for thebest quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end,offensive lineman, defensive lineman, linebacker, defen-sive back, kicker and punter. Each of these individualposition awards features the names of two former stu-dent-athletes.

    Media voters will continue to select the Dave McClainCoach of the Year, which has been awarded since 1972,while coaches vote for the Hayes-Schembechler Coachof the Year award.
