D1 ACTION
Penn State's win over Minnesota for first place in the Big 10 is in the StarTribune.

Here are some more of my thoughts on the aftermath.
It will be an uphill climb to get the Big 10 championship for Minnesota. They have two tough road contests: Wisconsin Nov 15, and Purdue Nov 24.
Penn State takes on Purdue at home next Friday, while traveling to Ohio State on the 8th.

Also Penn State was going to be deadly focused after the Badger sweep.

Utah Valley State dropped North Dakota State in four.
Weber State had a four game win over South Dakota State.
