Unless in-season coaching firings, Iowa punt-a-thons and lopsided nationally televised games are your thing, the 2022 Big Ten season has been mostly a big bore.
Oh, there is life in Illinois, which is 6-1 under Bret Bielema. That’s cool. Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim is a hell of a player. So is Maryland’s Roman Hemby and Purdue’s Charlie Jones and Wisconsin’s John Torchio and plenty of others.
Still, the entire conference season is shaping up to be the Big Two, Little Ten; everyone is rolling over for the twin steamrollers of Ohio State and Michigan like Woody and Bo were still running things.
