Around the Big Ten

Purdue is about to lose to Missouri on a last FG

Northwestern going to lose to Akron

[WingsFan]

Not a good day. John Heisman played the last time Akron beat a Big Ten team. In 1894.

League is total trash.

Well, I sort of survived thanks to Ryan Day's odd decision to go for two early in the 3rd. 5-7 in conference to drop to 19-17 on the year. However, my special plays were all remarkably clean covers including SDS winning outright. 5-1 on those. So, 19-17 and 5-1 heading into mostly conference play.

Might be the worst the league has looked in a long while. Maybe 2001? The early 90's?

Minnesota's win over Fresno State may be one of the conference's best non-conf wins by late in the season

NW has historically sucked major amounts of balls during the non-conference season so, unfortunately, their loss to Akron means nothing. Nebraska is likely a completely different team without Martinez so their loss doesn't mean anything either. That Purdue defense though -- Jesus.

Purdue was a trendy pick to be a program on the rise after last year. I saw some of the BC-Wake game and would say Purdue is likely to be 0-4 after this week.

BTW on Northwestern...just two years ago they lost 9-7 to Illinois State. I had totally forgotten that because they ended up going to and winning a bowl game against Pitt

[Hannibal]

I like Jeff Brohm a lot but the guy needs to focus a lot less on the flea flickers and throwbacks to the QB and instead build a defense that can be within six yards of a wide receiver when a pass is thrown. They are so bad this year I'll bet that even we could score over 30 on them.

. I picked against Illinois last week and was flummoxed. They jumped out to an early lead and somehow managed to limit 600+ USF yards to 25 points. I still think they suck. However, maybe AJ Bush comes back from injury and sparks their moribund offense a bit. Right after The Wizard authors the first great novel of the 21^stMinnesota (+2) at MarylandBoston College (-7) at Purdue. I really thought BC was going to have trouble at Wake on Thursday. And they were in a tight spot in the 3^rdBuffalo (-5) at RutgersTulane (-37) at Ohio StateOh the DISRESPEKT the bettors are showing my boy Stevie motherfucking Scott! The last time IU played Sparty at home in the 4^thWisconsin (-3) at IowaSpecial Plays. Time to get your free money, Biznitches!!!!
