The Whistlestop Tour: Week 7 of Big Ten Football
Let’s all point and laugh at Penn State.
This week, Ohio State reclaimed the top spot in the Big Ten standings after securing a 19-15 victory over Indiana. The Buckeyes, now undefeated, face a challenging journey ahead to maintain their No. 1 ranking. UCLA, with a perfect 6-0 record, is one of just six unbeaten teams left in the conference, making them another strong contender.
UCLA's recent games against Wisconsin and Purdue showcased their versatility, winning through both offensive and defensive efforts. Indiana suffered their first loss of the season to Ohio State, but the matchup between the two remains a fierce rivalry. Northwestern pulled off a miraculous 24-21 win against Michigan State, clinching their win with a last-second field goal.
USC enjoyed a well-deserved bye week after a grueling schedule. Meanwhile, Iowa was also on a break, but they maintain a solid reputation. Oregon managed to beat Nebraska 17-14, despite some struggles with their quarterback situation. Nebraska, however, continues to struggle in close games, as they lost to Oregon once again. Wisconsin put up a fight against UCLA, holding them to just 7 points, but ultimately fell short.
Washington's recent game against Purdue was a peculiar one, with both teams seemingly trying to sabotage themselves. Finally, Michigan's narrow 21-18 win over Penn State highlights the unpredictable nature of Big Ten football.
