The Big Ten didn’t see a ton of excitement this past weekend aside from the Maryland/Minnesota game.
The Terrapins and Golden Gophers played arguably the most exciting game in the conference slate. Maryland scratched out a 31-24 win behind a very strong effort from quarterback Max Bortenschlager.
Ohio State throttled Rutgers just like everybody thought they would. Penn State dominated Indiana for a majority of last Saturday’s contest and Saquon Barkley continued to add to his Heisman Trophy resume.
Next week provides a lot more intriguing matchups with Michigan/Michigan State, Maryland/Ohio State, and Penn State/Northwestern on the docket.
There wasn’t a whole lot of movement concerning this past weekend’s games, but make sure you check out our latest power rankings.
