The Big Ten conference had a really, really good opening weekend. Only three teams, Purdue, Indiana, and Rutgers, lost games, and all three of those lost to ranked teams.
Purdue lost to Louisville, 35 – 28, and the Cardinals had to come back late in order to win the game. Keep in mind the Louisville features last year's Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson.
Rutgers played Washington. The Huskies are considered a potential playoff team and were ranked in the top 10 coming into the game. Washington won, 30 – 14, but Rutgers played them tough throughout the game.
