If you had other things to do this weekend, the Big Ten tried to make sure you didn’t really miss a whole lot. The final scores coming in around the conference tended to be a bit lopsided in the end, although how some of those games got to that point was interesting. Michigan traveled for the first time and smashed Nebraska right from the jump, but Penn State had a much tougher time establishing itself on the road against Northwestern.
For the most part, there was not a lot of dramas to be found on the Big Ten schedule this weekend. Penn State and Minnesota had the most intriguing matchups as the games played out before both ended up with a win. And the nightcap between Iowa and Michigan State was every bit what you might expect out of a matchup between those two programs. You decide if that’s a good thing or not.
Here is a look at everything that went down around the Big Ten in Week 5.
