Biggest storylines to watch in Week 11 of Big Ten football

The Big Ten season is coming to a close, and a lot is left to be determined. One week can change the trajectory of this conference, and a big factor in how the season concludes will be the USCTrojans-Indiana Hoosiers game.Here are some central storylines to follow in Big Ten football in Week 11:Which USC Trojans team will we see?The USC Trojans are heading into their statement game of the season. If they are the version of themselves that took care of the Ohio State Buckeyes with ease, they will do the same this week. The Trojans are as dangerous as any team in the country at full strength. They just have to be polished and play winning football to knock off a winning program in Indiana. I think we will see the best version of USC, and the Trojans ' magical season will finally be in full effect. Can Michigan State finish the season strong?The Michigan State Spartans gave their rivals a humbling loss. It was an ugly game, and they came out on top because they made fewer mistakes. They welcome the Washington Huskies this weekend. I think they will drop that game, but will use the momentum from the Michigan win to finish the season on the right note. Pat Fitzgerald's identity is coming into fruition, and I think they can pull off at least 1 more win before the season's end. That will add even more confidence to Alessio Milivojevic's development.Minnesota will find its spark again this weekThe Minnesota Gophers have what it takes to pull off the upset on the road against the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Gophers have experience getting upsets, and Penn State has experience losing big games. Drake Lindsey and Darius Taylor will fuel the Gophers' offense and be the biggest reasons for this upset. Grant Wilson will prove to be the better option at quarterback for IndianaGrant Wilson should get the start for Indiana, if I had to evaluate the situation for the Hoosiers, and I think he will give the Trojans' defense problems. He and Charlie Becker displayed a solid connection in the last Hoosiers game. Wilson will play well, but he will still get outplayed by USC Trojan Jayden Maiava. Wilson will give the Hoosiers clarity that he should be the guy moving forward in this game.Will Ohio State's downfall continue in Week 11?After two straight losses for the Ohio State Buckeyes, it feels like their playoff hopes are going down the drain. At 6-3, the Buckeyes are no longer in full control of their postseason destiny. If they lose this game this week, they are surely out of the race. With a Northwestern Wildcats team heading into this game without Aidan Chiles, that gives OSU more hope; however, given how their defense has looked, any opponent can gain some confidence against them. I think the Buckeyes will get back on the right track at home, but how they win will shape what the rest of the season looks like for them.Contact/Follow @TrojansWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of USC Trojans news, notes and opinion.This article originally appeared on Trojans Wire: Biggest storylines to watch in Week 11 of Big Ten football
