Summary
The Cover 3 crew is here to give you the latest in the world of college football. It’s B1G WEEK! We start the week off talking about the Big Ten West. And we kick things off with the Northwestern Wildcats. Pat Fitzgerald signed a massive extension… are you buying stock? (13:10) The Iowa Hawkeyes turned things around at the end of the year with wins over Wisconsin and Penn State. Do they have the juice this season? (22:08) The Wisconsin Badgers had a wild season last year. Graham Mertz went crazy… and then COVID. Will the Badgers bounce back this year? (35:15) Minnesota went 3-4 last season. Not a great season for P.J. Fleck and the Golden Gophers. Are we rowing the boat this year? (46:09) The Nebraska Cornhuskers are not having fun. Scott Frost is looking for hope. Can he find it? (57:54) Purdue and the curious case of Rondale Moore. That was the theme of last season. Can Jeff Brohm figure things out this season? (1:04:10) Tom Fornelli tells us EVERYTHING you should know about Illinois. Bret Bielema is there. Now what?
