Outside of Penn State-Pitt, Week 2 in the Big Ten didn't offer much in the way of memorable finishes. The only other game decided by single digits was a loss Northwestern would rather forget. (More on that later.)
Despite the blowout victories, however, there were still plenty of amazing performances. Ohio State and Michigan continued to dominate overmatched opponents. The Big Ten West stated its case as a stronger-than-expected division with lopsided wins by Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minnesota.
In total, Big Ten teams averaged 39.7 points per game this week. That number represented an increase over Week 1, when league teams averaged 39.
