As promised, I wanted to catch you up on how the Big Ten draft hopefuls performed Saturday at the East-West Shrine Game in Orlando. The East squad rolled to a 25-8 victory against the West as its defense forced three first-half fumbles and recorde...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Michigan has to be kicking itself right now. Actually, the Wolverines can't kick, so that would be hard to do. But the Wolverines mounted two long drives while holding Ohio State without a first down, and yet the Maize and Blue h...

The most impressive statistic from Jason Werner's 2009 season wasn't 14.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks or two forced fumbles. It was 12 games played and started. For just the second time in his Purdue career, Werner got through a season unscathe...
