Maryland football was on it bye week this weekend. The Terps (6-2) return to the field on Nov. 5 for a road matchup with the Wisconsin Badgers.
Let’s look at how the rest of the Big Ten fared in week nine.
Biggest surprise: No. 17 Illinois vs. Nebraska
While the outcome certainly wasn’t a surprise, the season that now-No. 14 Illinois continues to have is.
The Fighting Illini were on the road for a Big Ten clash with Nebraska at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Illinois used its opening drive to march 75 yards down the field in just five plays.
