The Whistlestop Tour: Week 12 of Big Ten Football

It was an exciting week in the Big Ten as a pair of games went to overtime. Of course, not all was exciting, especially in Champaign. Let’s take a look back, shall we?

Wisconsin 47, Purdue 44 3 OT

It was the first ever triple overtime in Purdue history, but Jonathan Taylor stole the show with 300+ yards in a completely dominating performance:

For the sophomore, Heisman-caliber back, the stat line read like this: 33 carries, a career-high 321 yards, and three touchdowns. Taylor recorded eight “chunk” plays of 10 or more yards on the ground, including three of 22 yards or more.
