If it felt like had truly returned to action when the SEC joined the party a few weeks ago, this past weekend seeing the introduction of the Big Ten to the fold was like a delicious dessert arriving to cap off a tasty five-course meal. The drama surrounding the league after an on-again, off-again, on-again start to the 2020 campaign seemed to fade away almost completely come kickoff amid near-empty stadiums in the Midwest but felt completely normal all the same.
And what were we treated to?
Chaos of course! There were fullbacks hurdling, special teams blunders, several incredible catches, a number of punts from inside plus territory, and a host of tackling issues from the heartland to the east coast.
