Well, the second week of Big Ten football has come and gone, with some unexpected results. This was in-state rivalry week, with four games pitting Big Ten teams with other schools within the state, and like last week, one conference game. Also, a cross-conference game that pitted the two schools that see themselves as the academic leaders of their respective conferences, with Duke traveling to meet Northwestern. There were also two heartbreaking losses that were hung on Purdue and Michigan State with a field goal kicked as time ran out on the clocks.
As usual, the games were split up between noon, 3:30, and evening starts.
