What happened this past weekend?

This is late because we're lazy. And because Monday night was wing night. oops.

Indiana: 21 Northwestern: 19

Take note, Penn State. We know Northwestern ain't no Penn State, but Indiana is not a good team but if you turn the ball over five times, as Northwestern did this past Saturday, it is very possible to lose to bad teams.

The stats for this game were very similar, with the exception of the 5 turnover margin in favor of Indiana. Neither team really seems to be able or want to run the ball and neither has that game breaking quarterback, but it's good to see Indiana get a win against a ranked team because they're coming up on the schedule and the Lions need to be warned that anything can happen.

Wisconsin: 27 Illinois: 17

Thanks, guys. Every week that Illinois victory from a few weeks back seems to look less and less impressive.

Sherer accounted for 3 touchdowns, one of them on the ground. Juice completed barely more than 50% of his passes and threw more picks than TDs. Neither team ran the ball at that well and PJ Hill only had nine yards.

Does not approve.

What happened? Did he get hurt? Wisconsin fan, fill us in (won't happen). All we could find was that he bruised his foot. We really hope, for the sake of his manhood, that wasn't the reason he only had 9 carries.

Michigan: 21 Michigan State: 35

They may have lost to Ohio State, badly, but we still need to worry about Michigan State. Javon Ringer had a party on Saturday, rushing for 194 yards and two touchdowns. As a team, MSU put up 473 yards of total offense. Michigan only had 252.

Much like PSU, Michigan State had not beat Michigan in what must feel like an eternity, but they were able to get over that hump this weekend. This seems to be the year for that.

Michigan State has their slip up against Ohio State, but it's still safe to say they have the tools to be a good team and that last game of the season will be a good one. We look forward to taking the RV up for that one.

Minnesota: 17 Purdue: 6

Yeah, Minnesota. Since we don't play them this year, we are secretly cheering for them. Some of us are fans of teams in other sports that have been terrible in recent years, so we feel for the fans of Minnesota football who stuck with their team and get to see them play winning football.

The win wasn't glamorous, but they got it done. Adam Weber continues to play effeciently despite having no running game, and the defense is keeping people off the scoreboard, even though they were predicted by many (including us, most likely) to be terrible.

Minnesota continues to rise and is now 7-1 and ranked 17th. Did anyone outside of the Gophers locker room expect this to happen?
