The Big Ten race is heating up as we roll past Week 12, with several teams making big statements and others fighting to stay afloat. From unbeaten contenders to late-season spoilers, the conference is setting up for an exciting finish.

No. 17 USC recorded a statement win with a 26-21 victory over No. 21 Iowa at home. The Trojans held the Hawkeyes scoreless in the second half and erased an early 21-7 deficit to move to 8-2 (6-1 Big Ten). USC was powered by another big performance from star wide receiver Makai Lemon, who finished with 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown.
