Big Ten Superlatives - Week 2

A second full weekend of Big Ten football is behind us, but let’s look back at the best (and worst) of Week 2. Here are your superlatives.

Best Win of the Week

Honestly, not a lot of best in this category with much of the conference that didn’t spit up upon itself playing non-Power Five or non-FBS opponents. So, with that in mind, congratulations to Illinois who improved to 2-1 with a dominant home win against Virginia. Chase Brown ran for 146 yards and Tommy DeVito tossed a pair of touchdown passes as the Illini jumped out to a 14-3 lead and held an ACC opponent without a touchdown (or any points) over the final three quarters.
