2. Clayton Thorson will shine

Clayton Thorson has had a very up and down season, but he has pulled through for Pat Fitzgerald’s Wildcats when needed the most. Games such as Wisconsin, where Thorson, albeit throwing three interceptions, rushed for two touchdowns and had another crucial touchdown pass to upset the Badgers in Evanston. The against Iowa, Thorson’s touchdown pass to Ben Skowronek clinched the Big Ten Western Division championship for the Wildcats.

There are very few moments in your life where you can honestly say, that everything you’ve ever worked for comes down to right here and right now. For Clayton Thorson, he’s worked his entire athletic career to get to this spot right here, getting ready to play the powerhouse Ohio State Buckeyes, for a shot at a Big Ten Championship. I do not expect him to falter at all, as a matter of fact, I think he goes out and plays the game of his life against the Buckeyes.
