Purdue is in the spotlight this week, as we were really the only underdog to win among the seven Big Ten games. Everything else went mostly as expected. Minnesota and Rutgers both faced road games where they failed to pack an offense. Northwestern continued it shutout streak over Minnesota. Indiana has two shutouts on the season for the first time in 24 years. Also, Illinois lost.

Purdue 24, Iowa 15
