It was a weird day in the Big Ten: Minnesota boat-raced Purdue. Ohio State only scored one offensive touchdown until garbage time at the end of the game. Michigan and Rutgers were tied in the second quarter.
And Nebraska and Illinois combined to play an old-style WAC offensive shootout, combining for 1,115 yards and 89 points on a breezy, frigid day.
Who said that Scott Frost’s offense wouldn’t work when November weather arrived in Big Ten territory?
Well, maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised. Illinois’ defense is the worst in the Big Ten this season, and Nebraska’s isn’t much better.
