  Pigskin: Week 2 Preview, Oklahoma at Michigan, Duke at Illinois, Iowa St at Iowa, & OSU at Texas

  Sep 11, 202634 min

  Bowden & Korbin are back with another episode of B1G Talk Pigskin! This week, they’re breaking down the Week 2 slate, featuring four massive matchups: Oklahoma at Michigan, Duke at Illinois, Iowa State at Iowa, and Ohio State at Texas. They open the show with Oklahoma at Michigan. After the Wolverines’ major down week, how will they respond against the Sooners? And the big question everyone wants answered—does Korbin think his own team moves to 2–0? Next, Bowden & Korbin dive into Duke at Illinois. Both programs have been reshaped and redefined since last season. Illinois has strung together some strong years—can they keep it rolling with a new cast? Or will the 2025 ACC Champs, Duke, walk into Champaign and steal a win? Then it’s on to Iowa State heading to Iowa City to face the Hawkeyes. Iowa still appears to have a lingering quarterback battle, despite rumors that it’s been settled. Will that competition push the Hawkeyes to stay sharp, or does it give Iowa State an edge knowing neither QB is a locked‑in starter? To close out the show, the guys break down Ohio State traveling to Texas—undeniably the game of the week. Both teams are CFP contenders and conference title favorites. Can the Longhorns take down the Buckeyes and make their case as the best team in the country? It’s a loaded Week 2 preview with a ton of great games. Don’t miss this one. ENJOY!

After a terrific first half holding off the Irish, the Badgers unraveled in the second. The guys dig into what went wrong at halftime and how the momentum flipped so dramatically. Then comes the drama in Ann Arbor. Bowden & Korbin dive into Michigan’s scare, the debate over whether there really was an extra second, and what the Wolverines must do to regroup and push forward. To close out the show, they turn their attention to the Iowa quarterback battle. After a dominant 40–0 win, both Hawkeye QBs delivered, but Brown earned the start. Who impressed Bowden & Korbin the most? Is this competition already decided? It’s a packed, energetic Week 1 recap. ENJOY!
