There were plenty of tense moments, but the Big Ten got through Week 2 undefeated. Time to hand out helmet stickers.
Penn State QB Daryll Clark -- Clark aced his first significant test as the Nittany Lions' starter, passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns and adding 61 rushing yards and a touchdown on only five carries in a 45-14 rout of Oregon State. Penn State might have the Big Ten's most explosive offense, and Clark is proving to be the linchpin.
Minnesota QB Adam Weber -- It's a different season for the Gophers, who already have eclipsed last year's win total, and Weber remains the biggest reason why. The sophomore was nearly perfect, completing 22 of 26 passes for 257 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-17 road win against Bowling Green. Weber added a rushing touchdown to put the game out of reach.
Michigan State RB Javon Ringer -- Jehuu Caulcrick has graduated, and that means more touchdown opportunities for Ringer. The senior cashed in with five rushing scores -- the second-highest single-game total in team history -- and gained 135 yards on the ground in a 42-10 win over Eastern Michigan.
