In Week 6, 12 of the 14 Big Ten teams were in action. It all began on Friday night as Rutgers looked to knock off Nebraska for the first time ever but fell short. Purdue-Maryland and Iowa-Illinois were also close matchups decided by a combined five points.
Ohio State-Michigan State, Michigan-Indiana, and Wisconsin-Northwestern were all settled by three touchdowns or more. The average margin of victory in these three games was 28.3 points.
