Rapid recap of the week that was: Ohio State starting quarterback J.T. Barrett had plenty of time to relax on the bench in an Illibuck Trophy blowout. Wisconsin defeated Michigan at Camp Randall to give the College Football Playoff Committee something to think about come Tuesday. Northwestern and Indiana cruised to easy wins over Minnesota and Rutgers. Penn State rolled all over Nebraska. Purdue upset Iowa at Kinnick. Michigan State defended Spartan Stadium’s last game of the season, beating Maryland by a couple of touchdowns.
The first points of Wisconsin’s 24-10 win over Michigan were scored by Badgers punt returner and cornerback Nick Nelson.
