Big Ten Struggles and Surprises | Indiana Hoosiers Football News

The Big Ten took a brutal hit this week, going 2-6 against Power 4 teams, but some squads are rising while others are falling fast. Nebraska crushed Bowling Green 56-7, Ohio State narrowly lost to Texas 24-23 after blowing a 20-point lead, and Michigan’s defense shut down Oklahoma 17-10. Meanwhile, Northwestern rests after a bye, primed for their next 11 games, while Rutgers’ season crumbles with a 28-21 loss to Boston College. Indiana’s schedule is brutal — they just obliterated Howard 55-0 and now face Western Kentucky, who got demolished 70-20 by Georgia. USC keeps scoring big (49-30 over Louisiana), Washington’s defense held strong in a 16-14 win, and Purdue lost in OT to Wake Forest 38-36. North Texas bounced back with a 44-6 rout, but the Big Ten’s toughest games are still ahead. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
