The head coach storming out of a press conference, a player shot in the hand, another player arrested, and four straight losses.
All of the problems Illinois (6-4, 2-4) is dealing with make Wisconsin’s (8-2, 4-2)seem small by comparison. Sure the Badgers’ special teams are a joke and they just lost center Peter Konz, one of the best linemen in the nation, for two to four weeks...

RB Ball breaks Big Ten record for Badgers
(Eds: APNewsNow. With AP Photos.) By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer Well before Wisconsin's season was sidetracked by back-to-back road losses, the school had thrown its promotional weight behind a media campaign for Russell Wilson as a Heisman Trophy candidate.

Ball, Wilson might still have Heisman chances
MADISON, Wis. In the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately culture of Heisman Trophy voting in college football, the stock of top-level candidates fluctuates as frequently as oil prices in the Middle East.

Following the weekend of games, a few things have changed including a major injury to one semifinalist.Â
Here are the basics on the award, including who I believe the favorites are:

November 16, 2011
In the past I’ve done weekly updates to the Heisman discussion, but this year I realized that with the way players come and go it was sort of pointless. But with the regular season starting to wind down I thought re-visiting the topic was a good idea as the frontrunners are starting to emerge.
