The biggest headline of this past weekend of Big Ten football play can be skipped over in this recap, having received enough coverage elsewhere. In other news, Wisconsin held on for a major win over Iowa to end a two-game skid and keep their hopes alive in the Big Ten West. Illinois won their fourth-straight game in conference play as they went into East Lansing and firmly put the Spartans on the bowl-eligibility bubble. I’d imagine Mark Dantonio’s seat is pretty warm right now. Another game-winning field goal by Purdue kept their post-season hopes alive, while sending Northwestern to the unenviable position of better than Rutgers, but worse than any other team in the conference.
