DB Shakur Brown/Angelo Grose: Brown picked off two more passes to bring his total to five this season, which leads the Big Ten and is tied for first in the FBS. The junior began the season at nickel back but moved to corner the past three games after Chris Jackson’s injury. Jackson returned this week, but the strong play of Grose at the nickel spot earned him a second straight start.
