Hitting the Track Members of Penn State’s Track and Field squad had some record-breaking, championship performances at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships over the weekend. So did Texas A&M’s Infinite Tucker, who found an unusual but effective way to bring home a conference crown.

It’s a huge hire for the program, as they seek to keep the recent momentum as a perennial favorite in the Big Ten and Final Four contender.

#14 is #10 Athlon ranked the Big Ten’s (likely) starting quarterbacks heading into 2019, with Sean Clifford coming in toward the back of the pack. Something tells me he will move his way up this list by Thanksgiving weekend.
